Aerotech and GSI Lasers partnership proves the process
GSI Lasers designs and manufactures a broad range of industrial laser technologies for use in key manufacturing applications across aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and the semiconductor industries. They regularly work in partnership with Aerotech for positioning systems and motion controls when proving an application process.
New AXR Series Two-Axis Rotary Assembly enables high throughput micromachining of complex components
Aerotech's new AXR series 2-axis rotary micropositioning assemblies combine yaw and tilt axes that enable high speed and high throughput micromachining of complex 3D structures such as MEMS components. As part of the enabling technology for many microfabrication techniques, the rotary assembly provides an accurate platform for positioning and manipulation from a precision aligned hemispherical surface.
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 ...
Heason Technology’s new open frame X-Y table range has ceramic motor drive and super-compact optical encoders
Heason Technology has launched its new OFXY range of open frame X-Y tables which bring together high resolution ceramic motors from its distribution partner Nanomotion and super-compact TONiC™ encoders from Renishaw in a unique design that provides a large working through-aperture with sub-micron resolution positioning, better than 1 micron repeatability and 200 mm/sec scanning performance in a durable and extremely compact design.
Heason Technology awarded contract for nanometre multi-axis motion manipulator system for Synchrotron Soleil
Heason Technology has been awarded a £¼ million order by Synchrotron Soleil, the French national synchrotron facility and research laboratory, 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.
Miniature micropositioning rotary stage features ceramic motor drive
Nanomotion's new FBR60 piezo-electric miniature rotary stage is now from available from Heason Technology. Providing an exceptionally compact footprint and low profile for precision motorised rotary positioning, the stage has a 60 mm diameter rotating element and overall height of just 35 mm and features a high-stiffness cross roller bearing construction, twin piezo-electric motors that provide zero backlash direct-drive, and an integral non-con...
Heason 's latest miniature rotary motor has all the advantages of Nanomotion's ceramic motor technology
Heason Technology has launched a new 15 mm diameter miniature precision rotary servo motor from Nanomotion as a direct-drive solution that features the unique operating characteristics of the ceramic motor specialists technology - providing inherent braking and the ability to eliminate servo dither when in a static position – even under power-off conditions.
Parker’s linear motor system provides long life solution for transmission line damper testing
The latest PowerRod linear motor system, from Parker Hannifin, is playing a vital role in a series of test machines for a new generation of spacer dampers designed for use on overhead power transmission lines. Developed and produced by UK-based systems house, Computer Controlled Solutions Ltd (CCS), for Tyco Electronics UK Ltd, the test machines use the PowerRod motors and Compax 3 servo drive to replace conventional motor and cam mechanisms, hel...
Compact geared motor with double brake
The Compacta slip-on geared motors, manufactured by Framo Morat and distributed in the UK by R. A. Rodriguez, are ideal for repeatable positioning and reversing tasks in stage technology. Their power to weight ratio is extremely high. They are also lightweight, quiet running and exceptionally reliable and the design’s integral and easily adjustable mechanical limit switch contributes to the product’s exceptional flexibility. And with this ...
Ecomical, flexible robot found after ten year search
In the absence of a viable automated alternative, the Danish engineering company Linatex had, for more than a decade, continued to use manual labour to feed parts into a CNC turning centre. The company avoided robots because they were not only too expensive for its needs but also inflexible as the systems required dedicated and specialist support to convert them to other tasks.
