ESAB Precision Hole technology Integrates The Plasma Process For Optimum Quality Holes
With its new Precision Hole Technology concept, ESAB Cutting Systems has extended the capabilities of its CNC plasma cutting machines through the integration of plasma cutting, software and control systems to improve hole cutting cylindricity and to deliver the highest possible cut edge quality.
Diversified Plastics Supplies High-performance Part to Dynapar
Diversified Plastics, Inc. has announced the production of a high-precision component for the new Dynapar™ HS35R Encoder. The component, a shaftsizing insert, fits within the encoderʼs center bore and accommodates various motor shaft sizes, while insulating the encoder from external stresses.
Innovative Short-stroke Electric Cylinder Uses Tubular Linear Motor
Festo has launched a highly innovative short-stroke electric cylinder which uses a patented tubular linear motor and end-position controller to provide exceptional dynamic performance. Initially available in two sizes with peak thrust force ratings of 35 N and 52 N, the new ADNE-LAS cylinder offers a choice of four stroke lengths from 15 to 45 mm. The cylinders are ideal alternatives to solenoid actuators – they are especially suitable for proc...
Smart frequency inverter delivers sophisticated motion control capability
Nord Drivesystems has launched a variant of its Nordac SK500 family of frequency inverter drives incorporating sophisticated position control capabilities. Called Posicon, the new functionality supports closed-loop applications with sophisticated motion control features such as the ability to program relative or absolute positioning, synchronising, gearing and S-ramp movement profiles.
EtherCAT connectivity for distributed inverters
NORD Drivesystems provides a technology box for integrating motor-mounted SK 200E inverters into EtherCAT networks and the Beckhoff control technology environment. The Ethernet-based fieldbus offers significant benefits particularly for distributed networks such as conveyor systems. EtherCAT provides a high data throughput rate but eliminates the need for short lines associated with standard bus systems. Harnessing this high data throughput, the ...
Nord Drivesystems IC410 Cast Iron Motors Provide High Starting Torques For Harsh Environment/Frequent Reversal Applications In Steel Production
NORD Drivesystems expertise in drive technologies for vertical markets is well demonstrated by its wide range of gearboxes, motors, frequency inverters and servo controls that are suited to and extensively used in iron & steel production and other metal processing industries. Such applications demand peak performance for 24/7 operation in harsh and often high temperature environments combined with low maintenance, long service life and the highes...
Precise, dynamic drive technology
Conventional distributed servo solutions are complex and expensive but until now, users had no alternative when positioning tasks needed to be implemented in remote locations. The SK 200E frequency inverter series from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides an ideal, cost-efficient alternative. Designed for motor terminal box mounting, the units are available in sizes 1 to 4 with a performance range of 0.25 to 22 kW.
Piher's New Through-Shaft Steering Angle Rotary Sensor Offers Small Package and Cost-Effective Alternative to Encoder Technology
Piher International Corporation has announced the immediate availability of a new shaft angle rotary sensor - the PST-360 Through-Hole Position Sensor. The PST-360 combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.
Plug-in machine controller eases switching to Ethernet-based drives
Baldor has launched a new plug-in motion/machine control module for its Ethernet-compatible Powerlink drives. The new controller module allows machine builders to eliminate the need for a separate external network controller, along with all of the cabling and panel space that would normally be required. As switching to real-time and deterministic Ethernet-compatible motion control is already proving extremely popular for machinery builders, the a...
