Berner & Mattner have presented a study on the subject of Human Machine Interface: ‘Smart Multi-Axis Control’ implements control of a multi-axis grabbing arm using intuitive gestures made on a commercially available smartphone. The smartphone’s sensors transmit movement data to the MESSINA real-time platform using a Java server. This data is then instantly converted into control commands for the robotic grabbing arm.

Data Device Corporation has today announced a new 3-Phase DC motor torque controller. The PW-82530N0 is a high performance and low cost torque loop controller designed to precisely regulate the current in the motor windings of 3-phase brushless DC motors. The controller provides complementary four-quadrant operation making it ideal for applications requiring precise current regulation and/or holding torque at zero input command.

InvenSense unveil a family of 6 Industrial MotionTracking solutions including 3-axis gyroscopes and integrated 6-axis gyroscopes plus accelerometers. With the introduction of ITG-31N1/N2/N3 and MPU-61N1/N2/N3 devices for Industrial markets, InvenSense is now providing the same level of high performance and reliability for these markets, that it is known for in the consumer market.

Pulse Electronics introduce a new series of low-loss, flat coil surface mount planar transformers to deliver high efficiency power to applications with tight height constraints. This technology uses a copper fill factor that is twice that of a PCB so the direct current resistance of the primary winding is reduced by 50% and the power rating is increased by 20% to deliver up to 500 watts of power capability. Replacing the traditional multilayer PC...

With the new OD Mini short range distance sensor, SICK has delivered one of the world’s most lightweight and precise displacement sensors incorporating an easy-to-use display and control. The SICK OD Mini achieves micron resolution and millisecond responsiveness in a rugged, compact and lightweight unit making it ideal for precision measurement and positioning applications where high levels of accuracy are demanded, especially at high speeds, f...

Binder has introduced new UL-listed M12 connectors with moulded cables that incorporate a hard wearing and impact resistant PUR jacketed cable that is resistant to welding sparks. Designed primarily for robotic welding equipment, the new PUR cable replaces the traditional irradiated cross-linked cables that are not recyclable and therefore present disposal difficulties.

Critical equipment and applications that need to run continuously cannot rely solely on mains supply; additional energy solutions in the form of battery backup are also required. To this end Accutronics has launched the Intelligent Power Vault, a high energy density lithium-ion battery system. The product is an ideal solution for applications where energy reliability, flexibility and safety are paramount, such as medical & industrial applications...

This ES Design Magazine article explores understanding and utilising the fundamentals of MEMS motion sensors in medical devices. By Bob Scannell, Business Development Manager for MEMS Inertial Sensors at Analog Devices.
