Technology revolutionising the way large vehicles operate
There is so much excitement around technological advancements like infotainment systems, head-up displays and vehicle-to-vehicle communication that vehicle operators may be forgetting what is most important. So, before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to tackle the fundamentals of safe, efficient driving for all vehicle types.
Rapid set-up upgrades position measuring system
The IMS-A position measurement system from Bosch Rexroth has been enhanced by a DRIVE-CLiQ interface, enabling even more rapid set-up. A robust and accurate measuring system, the IMS-A is, uniquely, fully integrated in the linear guide - resulting in a mechatronic system which combines the functions of guiding mechanical loads and measuring their absolute positions in a single unit.
