Sole UK supplier of FAULHABER motors, Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) has announced that it will offer the latest product in the FAULHABER range. The DM66200H series of hollow shaft stepper motors boasts a new direct drive mechanism for applications that require a uniquely wide aperture, while providing impressive performance values.

Encoders provide feedback for accurate motor control relating to speed and positioning. Here Chris Schaefer, Applications Engineer at Portescap, has looked at the technologies involved and explained how to choose the encoder for your application.

A new plug-in connector by igus has won an ‘Excellent Product Design’ award in the German Design Awards 2021. The new igus Module Connect Adapter, praised by judges for its innovation, has been designed to suit limited spaces where a large number of plugged-in cables, such as fibre, optic, electric and encoder cables, need to be connected together.

Amphenol RF has introduced an expansion of their 12G-SDI broadcast products. Four new products are available, with three designed to work with Belden 4505P cable. These 75 Ohm cable connectors have also been designed to to meet SMPTE 2082 standards. Plenum cables have low smoke and low flame characteristics, and are necessary when run in any air handling interior spaces.

Long takes, when done properly, are masterstrokes of cinema. However, just a single mistake can mean scrapping reams of footage. To ensure filming equipment can keep up with the director’s cinematic vision, cameras must perform precise and perfectly repeatable actions. Here, Dave Walsha, Commercial Development Officer atEMS, explains how servo motors help achieve process precision both on and off camera.

Partnership withRenishaw makes a significant contribution to the success of JUSTEK Inc. - a motion control component manufacturer based in Korea.JUSTEK has developed a range of customisable Direct-Drive (DD) motors using Renishaw’s high performance optical position encoders, including the miniature ATOM RCDM rotary encoder system, for the FPD and semiconductor/electronics industries.

French technology company, IRELEC Alcen, based in Grenoble, manufactures optomechanical and robotics systems for synchrotron facilitiesworldwide.A synchrotron (a type of particle accelerator) is an extremely powerful source of X-rays, which is used for scientific research in fields such as materials physics, chemistry and molecular biology. One example of such a facility is the Diamond Light Source (DLS) in Oxfordshire,UK.

Requests by customers for a robolink fit for wet conditions has prompted igus to design one that can withstand rain, showers, and moisture. The company, which has its UK headquarters in Northampton, has developed its very first water-resistant robolink - a low cost automation solution made of polymer and stainless steel.

Haozhi Mechanical and Electrical (Haozhi), based in China, is a company focused on direct-drive technology for machine tool and robotics applications.Direct-Drive (DD) motors are electric motors that directly transmit power to the application without the use of mechanical reduction elements such as gears, pulleys, chains or belts.DD technology for linear motors and rotary tables has matured in recent years.

The new inverter FR-E800 is a highly flexible, compact variable speed drive (VSD) series with multiple built-in networks, including TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) without the need for costly option cards and has been released by Mitsubishi Electric to support the needs of smart factories.
