As part of the 12th International Suppliers Fair, Edscha and its parent company Gestamp presented their latest innovations to a wide range of trade visitors in Wolfsburg from October 22 to 24.
The focus on the part of Edscha was on an electrically powered sliding door system. The system, featuring an actuator and custom-developed software, offers flexible control options – ranging from app and gesture controls to voice commands – and can operate in either electric or servo-assisted mode to reduce effort. For maximum safety, an anti-pinch feature ensures safety by instantly stopping the door at any position, while a bi-stable brake secures it in place. A key highlight is the three-piece rail (TPR), which uses aluminum and plastic components to reduce weight and manufacturing costs, decrease tolerances, and speed up production.
The next generation of the Edscha module drive, an electric spindle drive for the automatic opening and closing of liftgates and lids, which was also presented at the IZB, also aroused great interest among visitors. Edscha was also able to come up with a number of innovations in the body components segment, including various forged hinges that meet the highest requirements.
