Design meets technology

Fly One®- elegant and flexible media supply

Fly One® provides media such as electricity, data, gas or compressed air in the room where it is needed - precisely positioned and safe. It offers maximum flexibility in four axes.

When required, Fly One® unfolds fully automatically and can be navigated three-dimensionally to any position. Fly One® then folds up again fully automatically and elegantly from any position at the touch of a button and sinks inconspicuously into the ceiling.

Fly One® is used in educational establishments, workshops and laboratories, for example, creating flexible room concepts for learning, working and research.

Polymer-plastic components in the drive mechanisms ensure maintenance-free and quiet operation. Additive manufacturing processes are used to create integral components that replace many conventional construction elements. Guiding, bearing, damping, connecting... light, quiet and maintenance-free, all combined in a single plastic component. These all-rounders in plastic reduce assembly times. In the housing parts of the Fly One®, the sliding joints are already integrated in the injection mould.

Michael Richert, Strategic Purchasing at Hohenloher, says: "We focus on economical plastic plain bearing solutions. Our Fly One® has a component architecture that is limited to what is necessary in order to achieve the best possible results."
