Service robots at a low price
With the introduction of a new low-cost robotic concept from igus, simple tasks can now be automated easily with a relatively quick ROI. Under the name ReBeL, the new wave-driven joint differs fundamentally from the previous robolink models: Instead of stepper motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used.
RS-485 interface reference design for absolute encoders
This high EMC immunity reference design demonstrates a RS-485 transceiver to use on both the drive and within encoders such as: EnDat 2.2, BiSS, Tamagawa, etc. EMC immunity, particularly immunity against inverter switching noise, is important for position encoder feedback systems within industrial drives. This design supports a wide input voltage range (used as output voltage to the encoder) from 5 to 15V (12V nom) in order to meet the wide suppl...
Growth potential in North American EMS industry
The North American electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry has an $81bn served available market with great potential for further growth, according to IPC’s 2018 Annual Report and Forecast for the North American EMS Industry.
Decentralised EtherCAT motion system offers machine cost benefits
The Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine (SPMM) from AB Dynamics, is used by global vehicle manufacturers, vehicle standards test houses and tier-one component suppliers for the measurement of kinematics and compliance (K&C) testing as part of progressive R&D and for production quality control.
Smarter approach to vehicle design
The demand for innovation is universal across industries, as new products are required to meet higher performance standards without slowing the overall time to market. This reality is perhaps most apparent in the automotive industry, where a wide range of technologies must come together seamlessly if a new product is to be successful.
ecsn: UK distribution sales stay strong in August
Adam Fletcher, chairman of the Electronic Components Supply Network (ecsn), has reported continuing strong revenue growth in August 2018, traditionally one of the quieter months in the year. But at the same time he acknowledged an unusual eight point fall in the B2B (book to bill) ratio.
The latest prototypes for animal-friendly machines
Semi-autonomous and autonomous machines and robots can become moral machines using annotated decision trees containing ethical assumptions or justifications for interactions with animals.Machine ethics is a young, dynamic discipline, which primarily targets people, not animals. However, it is important that animals are kept from harm when encountering these machines since animals cannot make informed decisions or react as humans would.
Durable gaming power solution launched
Designer and manufacturer of high-performance power supply, ENERMAX, has collaborated with ASUS to launch RevoBron TGA, a gaming power supply tested and certified by ASUS TUF Gaming Alliance to ensure compatibility with the other gaming components of the league.
Encoders combine ultimate durability and precision
The tough demands of industrial environments and challenging outdoor applications inevitably tests the durability and reliability of components such as sensors and encoders. Furthermore, for some applications the challenge is also for more sophisticated and specialised control, resulting in the need for components which offer the vital combination of robustness AND optimum precision.
Miniaturised Ethernet interface aims to set the standard
The new miniaturised Ethernet interface, ix Industrial, from HARTING, aims to set a new standard for IP20 Ethernet connections. Ethernet is the dominant communication standard for industrial applications, and the popular RJ45 connector has become the standard interface for Ethernet connections.
