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.

Building an individual automation system

Possible applications can be in the
  • packaging,
  • food,
  • medical industries and many more.
Lane adjustments, pusher tasks, gearboxes with different gear ratios, slewing rings and rotary axes can be used there. The modular gearbox system can be motorised or used for manual adjustments.
