Open software platform introduced with far-reaching potential
Launching an open software platform for programmable sensors, SICK AppSpace, SICK UK has designed for system integrators and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to use to develop and implement tailor-made application solutions on SICK programmable devices.The first UKIVA Machine Vision Conference on 27th April in Milton Keynes will be a launch pad for SICK AppSpace and an early opportunity for developers and end-users to experience its far-re...
Designing and supplying custom pan and tilt positioners
Specialising in the global security and military communications sector, SystemWare Europe has many capabilities involving the supply and comprehensive support of line of sight/beyond line of sight secure communications requiring the integration of innovative antenna systems with highly accurate directional azimuth/elevation positioning equipment.
Rotary coded switches are available with 4, 6 or 8 positions
knitter-switch has announced that it now offers an extended product range of rotary coded switches.The switches of the DRS/DRR/SMR 60000 series are now – in addition to 10 and 16 positions - also available with 4, 6 or 8 positions. The 20000 series is now available with 8, 10 and 16 positions and the DRS/SMR 15000/16000 series is also available with 4 positions.
No backlash and high speed linear motors have integrated encoders
Two linear motors have been added to Moticont’s SDLM Series of high speed direct drive linear motors, also known as Electric Cylinders. These compact drives with a 25.4mm (1.0”) stroke are just 25.4mm (1.0”) in diameter and 95.3mm (3.75”) long. These direct drive linear motors feature resolutions of 5µm (0.000197”) and 1.25µm (0.000049”).

Rotary coded switch range offers wide operating temperature range
The availability of the Elma C15 Rotary Coded Switch range has been announced by Foremost Electronics.The C15 multifunction switch is intended for cost sensitive applications where space is critical and is particularly suitable for frequency and channel selection in two way radios, portable appliances, instrumentation and similar miniaturised mobile applications.
Explaining motion and automation controllers
A motion control system is a system that controls the position, velocity, force or pressure of some machines. As an example, an electro-mechanical based motion control system consists of a motion controller (the brains of the system), a drive (which takes the low power command signal from the motion controller and converts it into high power current/voltage to the motor), a motor (which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy), a feedback...
