The new A3903 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a low-voltage bidirectional DC motor driver IC in an ultra-compact package measuring only 2 mm square and 0.55 mm high.

Faster programming and longer cable life are just two benefits provided by FANUC Robotics’ new ARCMate 100iC Robot. Internal cable management, from the robot’s ‘base to the weld torch’, allows the dress package (wire, gas and power supplies) to accurately and repeatably follow the robots motion avoiding snagged and broken cables.

Competition in the flexible automated food picking sector is set to drive down the costs of robots further, thanks to a new machine from Fanuc Robotics.

King Automotive Systems Limited is a successful power train components supplier that has embraced robotics in a structured manner over the past six years. When tendering for new contracts, robots are now seen as an essential resource requirement to allow them to remain competitive against overseas businesses.

No newcomer to robots, Marley Eternit Ltd, has recently completed installation of two new robot systems at its Burton-on-Trent tile manufacturing plant. Comprising six FANUC robots in total, the systems were needed to replace older dedicated machinery and to accommodate additional capacity transferred from another facility.

A leading packing operation of fresh vegetable produce, has reduced labour requirements by 50% and increased safety for its operators by implementing robotic systems into its facility. With LEAN principles firmly in place, G’s Fresh Vegetables Limited has successfully integrated six ABAR robot packing systems into its Cambridgeshire based facility.

Ecotile, a manufacturer and distributor of interlocking floor tiles, has fully automated its manufacturing process using a single FANUC Robotics robot working between two Sumitomo (SHI) DEMAG injection moulding presses. Using advanced gripper design from systems integrator Hi-Tech Automation has allowed Ecotile to overcome handling issues associated with flexible PVC. Two years ago Ecotile made the decision to begin manufacturing tiles which it...

Four robots used for packaging at Greenvale, the UK’s largest supplier of fresh potatoes, have proved to be highly flexible over their ten years of operation. Undergoing three major system upgrades over the ten years, to meet customer packaging and volume demands, the four FANUC Robotics robots continue to provide a strong return on investment.

Thomson Elektrak Pro series push-rod style linear actuators are now available from West Sussex based motion specialist Heason Technology Limited. Characterised by its extreme durability, toughness and compactness, the DC motor driven Electrak Pro is available in Acme leadscrew or ballscrew versions with a broad range of options making it equally suited for simple open loop load actuation or sophisticated closed loop control.

Heason Technology has added the new Thomson T60 precision ballscrew linear actuator to its wide range of positioning solutions. The T60 is a very compact and powerful push-rod style actuator with a 75 mm x 60 mm profile housing and a 38 mm diameter hard chromed steel extension tube for selectable travel up to1500mm, direct force to 1000N, speeds to 300 mm/sec and acceleration to 8 m/sec2.
