Compact and lightweight–such is the most common requirement for the gearboxes of emission-free, electric drives. With seven basic gearboxes, the LPI series by Liebherr fulfils exactly this need for high power density. With their low weight, reduced installation space and torque ranges from 20,000 Nm to 350,000 Nm, they are ideally suited as drives for crawler and crawler undercarriages. Customized large gearboxes are even available up to the maximum torque of 2,300,000 Nm.
Horn is expanding its tool portfolio for gear cutting to include types for milling PTO shafts. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the complete machining of drive shafts. Horn has standardized its own tool range for this purpose, which demonstrates high milling performance.
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced it is adding accelerated pre-silicon development in the cloud to its hardware assisted verification product offering with PAVE360 software for Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). The solution is the first accelerated simulation environment to support the new Arm Cortex-A720AE CPU semiconductor IP, launched in March 2024.
