Medium load hexapod provides precision and versatility
With the usability of 6-axis hexapods increasing in research and industry applications, PI has introduced a medium load 6-axis precision motion platform, the H-825 hexapod. The H-825 provides a self-locking load capacity up to 30kg (66lbs). The motion range is up to 55mm (linear) and up to 38° (rotation). High system precision is guaranteed by absolute encoders and an actuator resolution of eight nanometers - with position repeatability of &p...
Durability designed into compact optical encoders
A range of optical encoders from Grayhill are available at EAO. The three devices in the 62xG range of optical encoders use a patented optical switching technology that delivers a 2-bit digital quadrature output and are capable of over 1 million switching cycles, which together with a rugged enclosed metal body and a metal shaft ensures that the new optical encoders provide a more durable and more cost effective alternative to conventional mechan...
MPUs support digital encoder interface for AC servo applications
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced a new solution package for its RZ/T1 Group of microprocessors (MPUs) supporting HIPERFACE DSL digital encoder interface for AC servo applications. The support of HIPERFACE DSL for RZ/T1 reduces the customer’s system bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and enables faster time-to-market.
Brushless motor designed for robotics applications
Several different versions of the high torque, brushless EC-i motors from maxon motor are now available in small diameters. They are suitable for hand-held devices and applications in robotics.With the EC-i 30, drive specialist maxon motor is introducing a new brushless DC motor (BLDC). It has a diameter of 30mm and is therefore smaller than the EC-i 40 currently available.
EC brushless motor delivers the right balance of speed and torque
The new Ultra EC range of Brushless motors from Portescap has been expanded with the 22ECP35 two pole brushless DC motor. As part of the Ultra EC platform of brushless slotless mini motion solutions, these cost-optimised motors offer 30% more continuous torque and 100% more power over similar comparative motors without compromising the smooth operation and long life required from a brushless DC motor.
Fully integrated powered wheel drives with steering for EVs
Allied Motion Technologies has introduced the WheelMaxSteering Series wheel drive assemblies. The steering Drives are fully-integrated, electrically powered traction wheels with on-board steering systems for electric vehicles.
A new 0-360° angle sensor ICs has ultra-fast response time
The A1333 and A1339 are the two new 0° to 360° angle sensor ICs from Allegro MicroSystems Europe that have ultra-fast 15µs response time and support 10MHz SPI and real-time ABI and UVW outputs for fast data transmission. They also provide contactless high-resolution angular position information based on magnetic Circular Vertical Hall (CVH) technology.
Cost-efficient logistics drives in three preferred configurations
Within plants that contain a lot of drive units the total cost of ownership can be reduced by up to 70% through intelligent management of variants.Bearing this is mind, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has established three preferred sizes for efficient variable-frequency drives in materials handling and conveyor applications. These cover the typical functional and performance requirements in postal hubs, intralogistics applications, and baggage handling system...
Compact linear encoder suitable for feedback applications
A new, miniature, exposed linear encoder system has been introduced by HEIDENHAIN with the capability of resolving to 2nm. This performance is maintained at high traverse speeds up to 240m/min over long scale lengths to a maximum of 3,040mm. Machine builders in the semiconductor manufacturing, metrology and micromachining sectors are prospective users.
