On the occasion of the company's 75th anniversary, FAULHABER received a special honor by the municipality of Schönaich: From November 1, the street leading to the company site will be called Faulhaberstraße and the company building will bear the house number 1.
The history of FAULHABER has been closely linked to the municipality of Schönaich from the very beginning. After the foundation of the "Feinmechanische Werkstätten" in 1947, company founder Dr. Fritz Faulhaber Sr. and his first employees initially worked in a building in Vogelsang, before moving to a barrack next to Dr. Faulhaber's home in Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Weg in 1960. In the early 1990s, FAULHABER moved into the newly constructed building at the current headquarters location.
"We would like to cement our bond forever, so to speak" - with these words, Schönaich's mayor Anna Walther unveiled the new street sign in front of more than 1,000 guests as part of the 75th anniversary celebration in September 2022. She expressed her gratitude for the company's commitment to the location at its roots and praised FAULHABER as an internationally successful player in the technology market and a figurehead for the municipality. She was particularly pleased that FAULHABER acts as a reliable partner and takes responsibility. As examples, Anna Walther mentioned the company's social commitment to the Schönaich senior citizens' lunch table and the Sindelfingen food bank. She emphasized the company's commitment to sustainability by stating that FAULHABER is one of the first German companies to produce in a climate-neutral manner at its Schönaich location.
In addition, it is also the focus on the technologies and drive solutions of the future that the new street name represents: "Faulhaberstraße - a road towards the future - because that is what FAULHABER has stood for for 75 years now," said the mayor. Karl Faulhaber expressed his thanks on behalf of the company for the special honor bestowed by the municipality of Schönaich.

Featured Product
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.
