Sizing software
- The engineers at WITTENSTEIN alpha have fundamentally redesigned the cymex® sizing software. The result is a sizing tool that sets benchmarks in every respect. Thanks to cymex® 5, the entire drive train can now be dimensioned and designed faster, more easily and more reliably than ever before. After downloading the software, you can design optimally sized and more efficient motors by abstracting all important influencing factors.

Calculate on the Best
WITTENSTEIN alpha’s engineers have fundamentally redesigned the cymex® sizing software. The result is a sizing tool that sets benchmarks in every respect. Thanks to cymex® 5, the entire drive train (application + transformation + gearbox + motor) can now be sized and designed quicker, more easily and more reliably than ever before. Its calculations are considerably simplified by predefined standard applications. Optimally sized and more efficient motors are achieved by abstracting all important influencing factors.

Pico-precise three-axes displacement sensor IDS3010
The IDS3010 is an ultra-compact interferometric displacement measurement sensor equipped with three fiber-based sensor heads. It is perfectly suited for machine integration and compatible with various industrial networks. Due to an integrated webserver, the sensor can be aligned, initialized and (re-)configured remotely at any time. Unmatched technical specifications top off the system performance: The IDS3010 provides a data acquisition bandwidth of 10MHz at a subatomic resolution of 10-12 m. Despite its exceptional sensitivity, the sensor reaches working distances of up to 5 meters and is capable of tracking target velocities up to 2 m/s.
