Aerotech's new ABRT rotary air bearing stages provide exceptional velocity stability and error motion performance
Aerotech's new ABRT series rotary stages combine innovative air bearing mechanics, direct-drive servo technology and ultra-high precision angle encoders to provide exceptional levels of angular positioning performance. Available in three models with nominal tabletop diameters of 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm, they provide up to 70 kg load capacity with bidirectional repeatability to less than 1 arc-sec (< 5 μradians) and calibrated angular accur...
Aerotech launch sealed version of AGS series X-Y gantry system
Aerotech has introduced a sealed version of its AGS series linear motor driven, X-Y gantry system. The innovative design is aimed at applications where process produced debris or environmental conditions may inhibit performance of bearings and linear motors or compromise sensitive measuring components. The complete system would typically include all drive and control electronics, cable management and customer supplied services, granite or composi...
Aerotech capitalise on PRO series industrial-strength positioning stages with new Cartesius T-style robots
Aerotech has introduced a completely new line of Cartesian ‘T-style’ positioning robots based upon its PRO series medium precision linear positioning stages. The new range, named Cartesius, is a highly configurable positioning system with a single axis base and an open payload work area that suits many automation applications including pick and place, assembly, automated test and dispensing stations. Available in a wide choice of XY, XZ and X...
Even more design options for heavy duty linear motion from HepcoMotion
The new Heavy Duty Slide System HDS2 from HepcoMotion® is the iron man of linear motion with system capacities up to 68kN. It has been engineered to provide an exceptionally rugged product to meet increased load and life requirements. In so doing it addresses new markets in heavy materials handling that involve much larger X-Z gantry systems.
HepcoMotion Driven Linear System helps minimise aircraft noise
With the economic and social benefits of air travel comes increased responsibility for minimising environmental impact and that is the purpose of a newly refurbished laboratory at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton. The facility is housed on campus in the Rolls Royce University Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Noise. It is an anechoic chamber in which detailed measurement and analysis of the no...
Robots save space at Furniture Components Manufacturer
A furniture component manufacturer has successfully integrated two robots onto an existing processing system at its busy Huddersfield facility. Using compact articulated design robots has saved over 50% of the space that would be taken up by conventional wood industry gantry or portal type handling systems.
TCP/IP-compatible drives simplify development of advanced crane simulator
A three-axis motion platform based on Baldor Electric Company’s Ethernet-compatible drives is helping to further increase the realism of crane training experience by physically moving a simulator system’s replica operator cabin in synchronism with computer-generated images. The specialist machine manufacturer Electropneumatics & Hydraulics developed the motion platform for the leading training solutions and services supplier Applied Research ...
New electric cylinders feature IP65 rating
Festo has launched a range of electric piston-rod cylinders featuring enhanced ingress protection, including models with a high IP65 rating, for applications involving exposure to aggressive media. The new enhanced IP versions of DNCE cylinders offer machine builders and OEMs a wide choice of configuration options, enabling the performance and level of protection to be optimally matched to the application.
IT ALL HINGES ON EMKA!
So ubiquitous are hinges in our everyday life as access solutions that if “the hinge” did not exist it would be a really urgent matter to invent it – and EMKA would be right up there at the front of the development program! EMKA’s hinge program covers a welter of approaches to providing that simple axis point in engineering space where door and cabinet, panel and machine can come together, with a degree of freedom that enables the mechani...
