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...
New Scale announces improved 0.5 μm resolution, more package options for its miniature TRACKER position sensors
New Scale Technologies today announced improved 0.5 μm resolution and additional packaging options for its miniature TRACKER position sensor. This robust non-contact sensor is ideal for applications such as optical imaging stabilization and zoom in digital cameras, phone cameras, binoculars and other optical devices. It is also suitable for a wide range of other applications including consumer electronics, precision biomedical devices, optical...
Air Bearing Performance Without Air Bearings!
Steinmeyer announced an innovative, cost effective decoupling arrangement for ball screw drives that enables our standard PMT 160 series stages to achieve breakthrough performance – namely straightness and flatness runout of 50 nanometers or less! And we do it using mechanical cross roller bearings instead of large and expensive air bearings. The decoupling system isolates any transverse movement of the ball screw from the linear bearing syste...
High Precision Positioning Stage For Long Travel
Steinmeyer, Inc. announced an exciting new addition to its line of precision linear stages. Our model PMT320 offers a repeatability of +/- 1 micron, excellent straightness run-out accuracy and travel distances from 600 to 1500 mm. The stage has a 320 mm wide die cast base profile and the 1000 mm stroke stage weighs 70 kg.
Encoder Discs and Strips to get More Precise
Metal encoder discs and strips, for motion control, positioning and measurement, can now be produced in any volume, smaller and more accurately than ever before thanks to a new manufacturing processes pioneered by Precision Micro.
PI Launches Lowest Profile, High Speed Piezomotor Rotary Stage at Photonics West
PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. introduces a new ultra-low profile (0.6”), direct-driven, high-speed rotary stage based on its proprietary PILine® piezomotor drive technology at this year’s SPIE Photonics West conference
