Why do DC motors fail?
Nothing lasts forever, and everything in this world has a limited operating time. So what factors play a key role in putting a DC motor out of action? There are numerous reasons why motors fail and here a few factors that cause service life to deteriorate which lead to failure:
Rugged and flexible EtherCAT I/O cubes released
United Electronic Industries (UEI) has announced its new line of EtherCAT compliant I/O cubes. TheDNA-ECAT seriesof I/O chassis is based on UEI’s popular DNA-series Cubes, but includes a new CPU module specifically designed to run as an EtherCAT slave. The DNA-ECAT offers all the I/O flexibility of the DNA Cubes, including compatibility with over 60 different I/O boards.
Brushless DC motor controller designed for mobile robots
Roboteq hasintroduced the SBL2360, a compact intelligent controller capable of driving two brushless DC motor up to 30A each at up to 60V.
The latest open XY positioning system
The latest single rail positioning stage H-gantry design from H2W Technologies design is an open frame XY positioning system. It has two bottom parallel axes with one cross axis connecting the two (H-gantry).
Heason to exhibit range of products at DSEI
Following a successful DSEI Show appearance in 2015, Heason Technology - the UK motion control supplier and systems integrator - will once again demonstrate its capability for the design and build of customised motion systems through working demos and a selection of individual motion components from its distribution partners.
Compact actuators include SMART motors
Intelligent actuators are highly programmable, integrated actuators with a motor, encoder, amplifier, controller, USB communication, and IOs. The stages come fully pre-configured and enable true out-of-the box controls.
Robotics provide precise speed measurement as if by magic
Robots outweigh humans when it comes to speed and precision. Modern robots can move workpieces around at a speed that you could once only dream of. Precise measuring instruments are needed to avoid mistakes occurring due to the incredibly quick cycle times required in modern production. For this, the manufacturer Omron Adept Technologies of Dortmund relies on systems made by Wachendorff Automation.
MaxCore Micro provides versatile compute and acceleration platform
Artesyn Embedded Technologies has announced a compact new compute and acceleration platform versatile enough for applications ranging from small cell baseband processing, scalable video streaming/encoding, video surveillance and ‘bump-in-the-wire’ monitoring to industrial computing. The MaxCore Micro is a cost-effective, enterprise-class chassis which holds a host server card and contains an additional slot for any PCI Express add-in ...
Servo actuator is added to series with integrated encoders
The new direct drive linear motor from Moticont, the SDLM-019-070-01-01 is the latest addition to the series of zero backlash, zero cogging, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, long life linear servo motors.Also known as an electric cylinder, this compact direct drive linear motor is just 19.1mm (0.75”) in diameter and 69.9mm (2.75”) long.
