Rotary encoders with Blue Emitter LEDs
An innovative rotary encoder with BlueBeam Technology has been released by Pepperl+Fuchs, with the ENI58IL. For the first time, this technology equips industry-standard rotary encoders with the precision required for rotational speeds of up to 12,000 RPM.
Training videos make auto repairs safer
The Automechanika Frankfurt 2018 exhibition marked the unveiling of two comprehensive NSK training videos for garages looking to improve their skills when replacing wheel hub bearings. The videos, which present a clear approach to hub bearing replacement, also offer informative tips to ensure this type of repair is faster, safer and more reliable for customers across Europe.
Service robots at a low price
With the introduction of a new low-cost robotic concept from igus, simple tasks can now be automated easily with a relatively quick ROI. Under the name ReBeL, the new wave-driven joint differs fundamentally from the previous robolink models: Instead of stepper motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used.
RS-485 interface reference design for absolute encoders
This high EMC immunity reference design demonstrates a RS-485 transceiver to use on both the drive and within encoders such as: EnDat 2.2, BiSS, Tamagawa, etc. EMC immunity, particularly immunity against inverter switching noise, is important for position encoder feedback systems within industrial drives. This design supports a wide input voltage range (used as output voltage to the encoder) from 5 to 15V (12V nom) in order to meet the wide suppl...
Moving further into the premium segment with iPhones
Apple has announced its latest iPhone models today: iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr. The company is attempting to create more iPhone options, while moving its whole portfolio further up into the premium segment. Apple has completed its hardware design refresh that started with iPhone X, and moves to an all-notch display line-up.
Small-footprint sunroof motor module reference design
The TIDA-01389 is a small-footprint motor control module intended for sunroof and window lift applications. This TI Design uses the DRV8703-Q1 gate driver with an integrated current-shunt amplifier alongside two dual-package automotive-qualified MOSFETs, to create a very small power stage layout compared to typical relay solutions. This design also includes two of TI’s DRV5013-Q1 latching hall sensors, which are used to encode the motor p...
Decentralised EtherCAT motion system offers machine cost benefits
The Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine (SPMM) from AB Dynamics, is used by global vehicle manufacturers, vehicle standards test houses and tier-one component suppliers for the measurement of kinematics and compliance (K&C) testing as part of progressive R&D and for production quality control.
