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 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.

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 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.

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...

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 ...

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.

Since its introduction to the UK three years ago, the Framo Morat ‘Compacta’ slip-on geared motor has proved to be the perfect solution for applications where space is at a premium. Supplied in the UK by R. A. Rodriguez this product is designed for repeatable positioning and reversing tasks.

Ruland offers two series of zero backlash flexible beam couplings with distinct performance features suitable for different types of applications. The couplings are machined from a single piece of aluminum and feature multiple spiral cuts. The multiple cut design provides higher torsional stiffness and torque capabilities, and greatly reduced wind-up when compared to a commodity type single beam coupling. The multiple spiral cuts also allow the ...

Sprint Electric has supplied digital DC drives for the control system in a steel mill in Turkey. The retrofit has resulted in improved output, reduced waste and less down time.
