When facing a new mechanical engineering project, the professional in charge of the motion system is split between performing a redesign of mechanical power transmissions or existing speed reducers, and developing a completely new system. In this article we will try to address this issue that always pops up in the industry. Let’s get to it!

7 great innovations in vending sector and gaming machines
It is no secret that the world of vending is thriving, and that new technologies are the great driver of such growth. Smart vending is getting a strong foothold in Spain, since the customer base is expanding. However, there is still a long road ahead and techniques to improve in the vending sector. Which has prompted us to compile a list of seven new vending and gaming machines that are revolutionising this industry and will certainly serve as an inspiration to keep growing and innovating.
The role of sensors and actuators in autonomous vehicles
Autonomous vehicles have crossed the borders of science-fiction and are already in the horizon. Specifically, it is estimated that by 2020 we will already start to see the first self-driving cars rolling along our roads. By 2050 this phenomenon will be widespread, and this type of motor vehicle will become a common reality.
Gear motors with brake: basic attributes and operation
Brakes in gear motors are accessories that let the motor maintain a correction position in electric transmission systems. Nowadays, its use has been divided into two major groups: conventional gear motors with brake and the new brakes which use electromagnetic systems.
CLR case studies: Density control system for slush machines
A leading Spanish company specialised in the manufacturing of slush machines and chillers has found in CLR a fundamental engineering partner for the supply of speed reducers. The company, with a track record of over 25 years, needed to improve the standard solution on the market that it used to control the slush density in their machines (a density control system). The company needed to improve this control system to offer more efficient, reliable and silent machines. A new challenge for the experienced team of engineers of CLR.
CLR meets and exceeds three product standards set forth by Volkswagen
