SICK’s AHS36 (single turn) and AHM36 (multi-turn) encoders are ahead of their class for versatility, compatibility and diagnostics for almost any application including industrial automation duties.The SICK AHS36/AHM36 features a 270o rotatable electrical connection for either M12 connector or cable termination, making cable positioning and installation easy, even in tight spaces. Simple replacement of existing encoders is ensured by a choic...

SiC (Silicon Carbide) MOSFET modules with blocking voltages of 1,200V and RDSON values as low as 20mΩ, offer a real alternative to 1,200V Si IGBTs in motor drives. John Mookken and Julius Rice, Cree, explore the economics of using the more expensive SiC module with the performance gains and added complexities at the system level.

Amada Miyachi America announces the availability of the AWS3 Active Welding System 3, an integrated resistance spot welding solution that provides process control, monitoring and quality analysis. Available in a basic or an advanced version, with built-in remote services capabilities, the AWS3 features modular components that offer maximum flexibility. This solution is suitable for use in resistance welding of connectors, switches, cables, engine...

Scientists from Korea University and TU Berlin have decoded specific signals from within the brain to develop a brain-computer control interface for lower limb exoskeletons. The system uses an ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) cap and five flickering LEDs, which the user stares at in sequence to move forwards, turn left and right, sit and stand.

Try on any virtual reality headset and within a few minutes the sense of wonder might wear off and leave you with a headache.Computational imaging experts say that's because current virtual reality headsets don't simulate natural 3D images. Now, researchers in the Stanford Computational Imaging Group have created a prototype for a next-gen virtual reality headset that uses light-field technology to create a natural, comfortable 3D viewing experie...

The next generation of power electronics is taking shape, argues Markus Behet, EpiGaN. The wide-bandgap compound semiconductor material is suited for switching devices that operate at high frequencies without suffering major losses.

No less than 19 UKIVA members are exhibiting at he PPMA Show from 29th September to the 1st October. This is more than twice as many as exhibited in 2014, reflecting the continued importance of vision to the processing and packaging industries. The association is also delighted to announce that a seminar entitledVision and Robotics - unleashing the potential will take place on the 30th September in the Seminar Zone.

A range of servo actuators designed to be customisable for high precision applications has been released by Harmonic Drive UK. SolutionKit offers all of the benefits of an off-the-shelf actuation system, without the typical product development drawbacks. The range caters for the needs of users in specialist applications, including military, aerospace, defence, pharmaceuticals and food processing.

ROHM has recently announced the development of an AC/DC converter control IC designed specifically for SiC MOSFET drive in industrial equipment such as servers and other large power applications.
