Aerotech's engineered motion sub-system is selected for ultra-precision plate scanner at the Royal Observatory of Belgium
The DAMIAN ultra-precision scanning system at the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) fulfils a significant part of a global programme for the digitisation of astrometric plates and aerial photographic images that span over a century and has shaped our understanding of the world, the solar system and the universe. With more than three million plate images estimated in the astronomical community alone, the programme was borne out of a need to provi...
New standalone multi-axis drive and motion control system has flexibility for basic to advanced positioning applications
Flexible choice of hardware, software and interfacing options make new rack-mount multi-axis motion control and drive system adaptable to a very wide range of positioning applications
New APR series rotary stages provide high precision, low tilt motion errors and large load capacity
Aerotech continues to improve and innovate its direct-drive rotary stage capability with the new APR mechanical bearing series which offers positional accuracy to 1.5 arc-sec and axial load capacity up to 450 kg. Aimed at high precision rotary positioning for applications such as precision component testing, optical calibration systems, laser micromachining and sub-micron metrology, the APR's brushless direct-drive technology easily outperforms ...
Jena Tec Precision Rotary Table
Jena Tec announces two further models to its linear and rotary motion ranges in the field of precision rotary tables for rotary grinding with its MRT230 series and also for high precision machining and inspection the ABRT series air bearing rotary tables.
SSI interface in JVL integrated QuickStep motors
The firmware of JVL’s QuickStep motors has been extended with yet another function: an SSI encoder interface. It is thus possible to integrate absolute encoder functions in the QuickStep integrated stepper motors and in the stepper motor controller SMC75. Typically, absolute-encoders are used when there is a need to continue operation immediately after power is re-applied to a machine or system — without first having to perform a zero-search ...
“Silent Security” - Mayr Launches Range of ‘Silent’ Brake Motors
Mayr Transmissions Ltd. have for many years been regarded as global market leaders in the field of low noise safety brakes and through a joint venture with Gamak Motors UK, Mayr are now able to supply complete brake-motor assemblies in sizes ranging from IEC 71 through to IEC 132 frame.
Megaflux series thin-ring torque motors available from Heason
A range of brushless servo motors with a separate rotor and stator design, aimed at the smooth precise control and direct-drive of large inertia or high torque loads, is available from precision motion specialists Heason Technology Limited. The Megaflux thin-ring torque motor from USA manufacturer Emoteq Corporation has an inherently large diameter-to-length ratio - from 150 mm x 30 mm to 760 mm x 123 mm – and covers continuous stall torque fro...
Nanomotion's Z-Axis Auto Focus Stage provides positioning and focussing for microscope and imaging applications
With high speed performance for both long travel and nanometre to micron range incremental moves, Nanomotion's motorised Z-Axis Auto Focus Stage provides a complete vertical positioning and focussing solution for automated microscope and imaging applications.
Nanomotion’s new FlexDC is a dedicated motion control for high performance ceramic servo motors
The new FlexDC Motion Controller is a dedicated single or dual axis control and drive unit for use with Nanomotion’s range of high performance ceramic servo motors and positioning stages. Available in the UK from the leading precision motion specialists Heason Technology Limited, the compact desktop controller includes PIV or PID servo control with quadrature or Sin/Cos encoders providing nanometre-level position control with synchronised I/O a...
Heason Awarded Contract for Nanometre Multiaxis Manipulator
Heason Technology has been awarded a £ ¼ million order by Synchrotron Soleil, the French national synchrotron facility and research laboratory. Heason are to design and manufacture four nanopositioning manipulators that combine as a 14 axis ultra-high vacuum and low magnetic motion system to position samples and optics for an exciting new soft x-ray scanning photoemission microscope project called ANTARES.
