Next generation of digital encoder launched
Extensive optical encoder ranger is being added to with the launch of the VIONiC series by Renishaw, a metrology specialist. The VIONiC series is a new family of ultra-high accuracy, super-compact all-in-one digital incremental encoders.
Multi-vendor demos at the IANA show in Chicago
Two multi-vendor interoperability demos, plus other products from member companies will be presented by Sercos at Industrial Automation North America Show (IANA) in booth E-4448 in the McCormick East Building, Chicago, on 12th-17th September.The systems demonstrate that Sercos has the functionality and performance to operate synchronised motion, I/O and safety while allowing full TCP/IP communication with each device over a single Ethernet ring.
A practical approach to servo loop tuning
With an unquestionable performance capability, servo motors and their final performance is mostly determined by the servo loop tuning.Making servo motors attractive for use in closed loop systems, is the ability to create torque in a linearly predictable fashion. Despite the wealth of theoretical material regarding closed loop systems and closed loop control, tuning a PID servo loop continues to be a bit of an art.
Gold Bee added to servo drive range
The Gold Bee series from Elmo Motion Control are high intelligence density servo drives for extreme environments. Available with full support from Heason Technology, Elmo Motion’s UK distribution partner, the ultra-small PCB mount package, measuring just 35x30x14.4mm, can deliver up to 4,000W of power with current ratings to 50A at 100VDC. The drive has a range of features including a choice of EtherCAT or CANopen networking, Safe Torque Of...
Fire detection and security systems market continues robust growth
The Global Overview Analysis of Fire and Security (GOA F&S), and the recently published BSRIA market intelligence study about it, shows that the global Fire Detection and Electronic Security Systems market continues to grow robustly. Almost 5% per annum for fire and security is forecast to grow between 2.5-3% per annum. Both of these are for the UK. Demand in the fire market continues to favour the sale of multi-sensor detectors in the pursui...
Partnership signed between UK and German manufacturers
Dunkermotoren, the German manufacturer of motion control solutions, has appointed Yeovil-based ASK Engineering Solutions as their UK partner.
Microscope Stage for Precision Mapping of Large Samples
The H105 ProScan Microscope stage from Prior Scientific is purpose designed for precision mapping of large specimens including scanning of a wide range of semiconductor wafers (up to 150mm / 6 inches), photo masks, printed circuit boards and other material science applications.
Dual Axis Closed Loop Linear Stepper Stage
The LSS-012-12-060-XY-01A-M is a revolutionary new series of low profile linear stepper XY positioning stage that integrates an absolute linear encoder into the single-axis linear stepper motor stage to operate the linear stepper motor as a 2-phase brushless linear motor, when coupled with state-of-the-art motion control electronics package provided by H2W.
New Compact Encoders for OEM Designs
The new Pittman E21 family of 21mm optical incremental encoders satisfy the demands of volume OEM precision-motion control applications. The E21 represents a huge improvement over its predecessor with a 40% lower profile, multichannel outputs and options yielding up to 32 times the resolution and up to 24 times the frequency response. Creative packaging also makes this an economical drop-in replacement for other encoder providers.
Automation for high-hygiene machinery
Recently announced by Kollmorgen and available from Heason Technology, its UK Gold Partner, the new ERD series stainless steel linear actuators combine the well proven AKMH series servo motors with long life ballscrew driven transmissions as IP69K-rated fully housed packages that are ready-to-install in food produce or pharmaceutical machinery and other high-hygiene applications.
