Integrated granite motion system on live display
It has been announced that Aerotech will be demonstrating its extensive know-how as a system supplier for measurement and testing technology in Stuttgart at Control 2019, the international trade fair for Quality Assurance (QA). The manufacturer will focus on automation solutions and components for measuring and testing equipment in addition to its position controls.
SICK opens up Industry 4.0 with its first IO-Link encoder
With the launch of the SICK AHS36 (singleturn) and AHM36 (multiturn) IO-Link absolute encoders, SICK has opened up wide-ranging new possibilities to integrate rotary motion sensing into the ‘smart’ sensor configurations of automated machinery.The SICK AHS36 and AHM36 36mm IO-Link encoders are SICK’s first range of absolute encoders with IO-Link.
Coreless current sensor IC at PCIM Europe
Specialist in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, Allegro MicroSystems, will show a new coreless current sensor IC and the industry’s quietest brushless DC (BLDC) motor control solution at the PCIM Europe 2019 Exhibition (Nuremberg, Germany, 7th to 9th May) in Hall 6, Booth 255.
Module is programmable with BiSS and SSI protocols
iC-Haus has expanded its product family in the field of integrated system solutions for sensor-sided BiSS and SSI communication, including absolute encoder applications. The field-sided RS422 transceiver for clock reception and data signal is designed for typical industrial point-to-point encoder applications to enable physical interface compatibility for many drive systems and controllers on the sensor side.
Rotary encoders provide precise digital data measurements
Rotary encoders provide precise digital data measurements regarding the motion or position of a shaft. Measuring motion or position relies on a consistent level of precision, a responsibility that partly falls on the coupling attached to the encoder. For this highly demanding application, Italsensor relies on Huco Flex P double-loop couplings to safeguard encoder precision and reliability.
Taking crane braking to new heights
A crane may not use its brakes often, but when the need arises, they must be able to operate with the complete reliability. It’s a quality that Stromag, a brand of Altra Industrial Motion, designs into its turnkey crane braking packages. As a result, Stromag braking systems are the solution of choice for several crane OEMs around the world.
What is the most effective way to commutate a BLDC motor?
Brushless direct current electric motors, or BLDC motors for short, are electronically commutated motors powered by a dc electric source via an external motor controller. Unlike their brushed relatives, BLDC motors rely on external controllers to achieve commutation. Put simply, commutation is the process of switching the current in the motor phases to generate motion. By Jason Kelly, CUI
GPGPU evaluation system delivers enhanced AI performance
It has been announced that Aitech has released an NVIDIA Jetson Xavier-based evaluation system that comes preinstalled with Linux. The low-power EV178 gives embedded engineers a reliable platform to quickly develop AI applications and port those solutions to the high-powered A178 Thunder, Aitech’s soon-to-be-released, NVIDIA Jetson Xavier-based, rugged, fanless AI GPGPU supercomputer.
