(pressebox) (Igersheim, 2011-06-06) Ease of use, transparency and efficiency were all top priorities when WITTENSTEIN alpha developed its new Online Product Configurator. The Configurator provides customers with a fast and convenient way to configure their applications. Users are guided intuitively to the optimal solution, with all key parameters such as torque, speed, precision and forces entered interactively.

Benefits of the new Online Product Configurator in brief:

- Optimized for quick and efficient selection
- Intuitive operation
- Automatic comparison of the motor and gearhead geometry
- All application information at a glance

All products in WITTENSTEIN alpha's broad portfolio - from planetary through right-angle to worm gearheads - are considered and evaluated based on the application data.

Thanks to another new highlight, users can now also optimize the recommended solution according to priorities of their own like precision, efficiency or economy.

The convenient option of downloading drawings and 3D models quickly and directly rounds off the Configurator's impressive functionality.
