Signalling devices offer flexibility in machine design
Space-saving command and signalling devices have been launched by Eaton, the RMQ Flat Front and RMQ Flat Rear components. These allow machine builders and engineers to implement premium design and build more cost-effective and compact machines.
Frequency inverters now provide safe functions
NORD frequency inverters now provide safe functions for drive axes according to SIL3 and Performance Level e (category 4) in PROFINET environments with a safety controller.A new PROFIsafe interface module connects up to four AC vector drives with a safe PLC. The optional module can integrate safe input and output signals such as for emergency stop buttons and light barriers.
PowerVR GPU is first to pass OpenVX 1.1 conformance
Imagination Technologies announces that a PowerVR GPU is the first to achieve Khronos OpenVX 1.1 conformance. With OpenVX, developers can run fully optimised vision algorithms on the highly parallel, power-efficient PowerVR GPUs that are at the heart of many of the world’s mobile, automotive and embedded devices.OpenVX is an open, royalty-free standard for cross platform acceleration of computer vision applications.
Flexible installation model added to compact servo actuator range
The DriveSpin (DS) range of ultra-compact and high-torque rotary positioning actuators from Spinea integrate an AC servomotor and feedback device with the TwinSpin high-load capacity reduction gear unit.The DS range available from Heason Technology has now been expanded to include a new variant that offers additional mounting possibilities.
Rapid set-up upgrades position measuring system
The IMS-A position measurement system from Bosch Rexroth has been enhanced by a DRIVE-CLiQ interface, enabling even more rapid set-up. A robust and accurate measuring system, the IMS-A is, uniquely, fully integrated in the linear guide - resulting in a mechatronic system which combines the functions of guiding mechanical loads and measuring their absolute positions in a single unit.
DC motor features eight standard windings
The latest addition of PITTMAN's line of brush-commutated DC motors: the DC022C Series, a 22mm diameter unit offered in three lengths with continuous output torques of 0.0056-0.141Nm, has been announced.
Multiturn encoder for Linear and Rotary applications
iC-PVL, a configurable Hall multiturn encoder, is a battery-buffered, economical, and space saving replacement for mechanically geared multiturn encoders. Its low current consumption (<10μA) allows the battery to last several years. A flat QFN package is used, which is only 4x4 mm², and includes integrated Hall sensors. This allows the iC-PVL to read magnetic linear scales or tapes, or discs or magnet wheels with pole widths of 1.0 to ...
Preventing rotation increases actuator accuracy
To increase high alignment accuracy by preventing unwanted shaft rotation, BEI Kimco, a brand of Sensata Technologies, has introduced a new moving magnet Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) with a flexure design.
Highest accuracy with the 80µm-class for magnetic measuring
The German specialist for magnetic measuring BOGEN Electronic from Berlin conquers a big deficit of magnetic measuring: the mean accuracy. The X-class-encoders from BOGEN are based upon a pole pitch of 80µm. The measuring heads X-IKS9 and X-IKS15 read the pole pitch in a reading distance up to 240µm and reach an accuracy of 5µm and better.
Linear position sensors suitable for harsh environments
A range of linear and angular position sensors from ZF pursue new ways in terms of efficiency. Based on a modular system, the sensor is available as an ANG version for angular position measurements or as a LIN-version for linear position measurements.Whereas the ANG-series adds to the existing range of angular position sensors, the linear position sensor provides options for ZF customers.
