TraceParts publishes key figures about the use of power transmission products in CAD projects

In its new annual activity report, TraceParts gives details about the profile of designers that used power transmission components in 2016

Saint-Romain, France, 12 April 2017 - TraceParts, one of the worlds leading providers of 3D digital content for engineering, has published a detailed report about CAD model downloads for power transmission products by product family, country, or sector of activity.


With an average of almost 69 million CAD models downloaded from the TraceParts publishing network in 2016, the demand for CAD files in design offices shows no sign of weakening, particularly for design projects requiring power transmission systems.

For this reason, many manufacturers and distributors of power transmission components publish their 3D product catalogs through the TraceParts publishing network. Around 17 million designers have access to this network; this means they can immediately select power transmission products (keys, splines, gears, pulleys, belts, and many other components) and include them directly in their design projects, in formats compatible with all CAD software.

For suppliers, having their components selected at the design stage allows them to keep up to date about new projects that are in progress and to provide their customers and prospects with technical and sales supports.

By providing precise data about downloads of CAD files by product family, country and sector of activity, the new 2016 activity report about power transmission products will enable many suppliers to forecast market trends in the sector for 2017.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
