Apiro iDeas: Simply recreate ideas for automation systems


Select automation solution - Download parts lists and CAD data

Our "Apiro" gearbox system for a wide variety of kinematic elements and superstructures was named after the Greek word for "infinite". This allows individual applications to be implemented in an extremely modular and cost-effective manner.
Typical areas of application are
  • Lane adjustments,
  • Pusher tasks,
  • Gears with different ratios,
  • Rotary tables and rotary axes
Due to the large product portfolio of drygear®  we can provide you with the suitable motor, including motor control system as well as cables.
 
One of an infinite number of possible applications: the simple and flexible format adjustment.
