STMicroelectronics has further simplified development of advanced, energy-efficient motor drives on STM32 microcontrollers by harmonising the latest STM32 PMSM FOC SDK with the STM32Cube ecosystem. The move extends opportunities for engineers to build sophisticated drives for equipment such as air conditioners, home appliances, drones, building automation, industrial machinery, medical devices, e-bikes, and many others, without needing specialise...

A minimal sensor area of only 1.9x3.3mm is sufficient for the optical sensors in the iC-PNH series to scan encoder code discs and generate sine signals in top hi-fi quality. Evaluation is executed by interpolation ICs using a Nonius calculation, e.g. iC-MN and iC-MNF, permitting a very high angle resolution of more than 21 bits, even with code disc diameters of only 26mm. All devices of this series can be used with short-wave blue LED lighting fo...

With DC motors as small 4mm it’s not surprising that 45% of maxon motor’s business is from the medical industry. Patrick Vega, Technical Engineer at maxon motor uk, discusses some of the applications that maxon have featured in.

As the automation of production processes become more important for increased productivity, igus has developed a solution with the new self-lubricating and maintenance-free drylin E linear robot, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, be it in medical equipment with high safety and hygienic requirements, tasks in microelectronics, or pick & place functions.

JVL Industri Elektronik A/S has announced yet another industrial Ethernet protocol for its integrated servo motors and integrated stepper motors, SERCOS. The new motor family, ServoStep, uses the newest technology and the advancement of the previous designs, incorporating customers’ feedback. The family has the widest pallet of options in the market and will thus fit into all possible customer applications.

Licensor of signal processing platforms and artificial intelligence processors,CEVA, has introduced PentaG, a comprehensive 5G intellectual property (IP) platform for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB). Compliant to the 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) Release-15 and software upgradable for Release-16, PentaG is targeted at smartphones, fixed wireless access and the many other embedded devices that can take advantage of multi-gigabit data rates.

maxon motor technology is widely used in robotics, where high power density and precision are prerequisites. This article explains which products are most suited to robot applications and why. ByAmir Janjua, Technical Engineer, maxon motor UK.

Advancements in control and communications ICs have played an important role in realising today’s next generation of robots. However, it is the advent and fusion of many new, small and low cost sensing technologies that are at the heart of these modern and sophisticated robots. By:Mark J. Donovan,Senior Product Marketing Manager at ams.

The versatile features and options of Aerotech´s ATX series linear positioning stages enable convenient integration into larger machines or use as stand-alone positioning axes. These features include travel lengths to 250mm and anti-creep crossed-roller bearings, plus an optional centre-mounted linear encoder for direct position feedback. Vacuum and cleanroom-compatible versions are available and ThermoComp ensures reliable performance in c...
