Harwin installs ‘ambitious’ Gecko connector assembly machine
In partnership with Festo, Harwin has designed and installed its largest ever assembly line to meet the sales demand for its Gecko 1.25mm pitch high reliability connector family. By utilising Festo’s products throughout the machine design, compatibility issues that sometimes arise when using conflicting hardware were removed.
European demand drives Precision Micro electroforming expansion
Precision Micro has announced the expansion of its electroforming capacity by investing in new lamination equipment and a bespoke plating tank, designed to the company’s specifications. This investment is a consequence of increased demand from European customers from the medical and electronics markets, markets the company are confident will provide a significant increase to its electroforming revenues in 2016.
IoT sensor line up primed for Nuremberg outing
A comprehensive portfolio of sensors for applications within the Internet of Things will be showcased by Rutronik at Sensor+Test (May 10-12) in Nuremberg under the brand RUTRONIK SMART. This will comprise MEMS sensors, pressure sensors as well as magnetic and optical sensors from the leading manufacturers Bosch Sensortec, Diodes, Honeywell, Infineon, Melexis, Micronas, NJRC, Omron, Panasonic, Sensirion, STMicroelectronics and Vishay.
Functional demonstration for materials handling industries
NORD Drivesystems will be showcasing a large fully functional conveyor technology demonstration rig that brings together a selection of its geared motors and decentralised frequency inverters and starters that are well proven for materials handling applications in packaging machinery and logistics industries such as baggage handling.
Rotary positioning and measuring to sub-micron accuracy
Companies building CNC machines incorporating rotary axes would normally need to source and assemble a torque motor, a precision bearing and a high resolution angle encoder. All three items may now be purchased from Heidenhain as a single, compact unit following the company’s introduction of two new modules, designated SRP 5080 and SRP 5010, fitted with an incremental and an absolute encoder respectively.
Affordable high precision compact linear positioning stage
PI (Physik Instrumente) introduces a new compact linear stage – the L-509. Providing high precision linear motion with minimized runout, this positioner delivers performance and reliability at minimized cost. It has applications in research and industrial applications, including beamline systems, microscopy, semiconductor manufacturing, and photonics instrumentation.
Compact, Highly Dynamic Voice Coil-Driven Linear Scanning Positioners
PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. introduces a new family of high dynamic linear stages to its PIMag series – the V-52x. Equipped with a linear encoder for direct position measurement and choice of cable exit direction, these stages are ideal for industry and research scanning applications, such as biotechnology, laser beam control, optics scanning, lens testing, and fiber optics.
Transmissive sensors qualified to AEC-Q101
The TCPT1600 and TCUT1600 transmissive sensors from Vishay are now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The compact, surface-mount transmissive optical sensors are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive and industrial applications, and feature a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius.
High Precision Vertical Elevator Stage from OES
The AZ60-A Motorized Vertical Elevator Stage from Optimal Engineering Systems is a low profile, compact 183.7 mm x 80 mm x 38 mm ~ 42mm (raised), (7.232in x 3.150 in. x 1.496 ~ 1.654 in.) low cost, high resolution, wedge type, vertical elevator stage for applications requiring precise vertical positioning.
Pancake motors from PMW simplify lift door actuation
Traditionally, passenger lift doors are actuated using a cylindrical motor connected to a belt and pulley system via a 90 degree bevel gearbox. However, the new XR15-03E low profile motor from Printed Motor Works is slender enough to be positioned parallel to the door, removing the need for a gearbox.
