Renishaw brings 3D printing expertise to Land Rover BAR Technical Innovation Group
Renishaw is proud to announce that the company has joined Land Rover BAR's Technical Innovation Group (TIG) as an official supplier – joining the quest to bring the America's Cup home to Britain. The company will contribute its expertise in metal 3D printing and position feedback encoding.
Opto-encoder ICs are blue, reflective & lensless
At SPS/IPC Drives 2015 in Nuremburg, iC-Haus will introduce its new encoder ICs which are described as blue, reflective and lensless. Specifically designed for flat encoders, with multiple diameters and line counts, the iC-PR reflective encoders feature dual analogue/digital output options, selectable interpolation factors and high resolution.
Variohm supply draw wire sensors to Hunger Hydraulics for lifting bridge application
Hunger Hydraulic has recently supplied four 4.25 metre stroke telescopic hydraulic cylinders to main contractor John Sisk, to lift a new 80-metre pedestrian and cycle access bridge linking Canning Town station to a new island development on the Leamouth Peninsula in London.
New Precision Linear Stepper Stage from PI, L-511
Physik Instrumente (PI) presents the L-511 linear stage series featuring minimum incremental motion as small as 0.02µm. With travel ranges to 155mm (6 inches), this 2-phase micro stepper motor platform is ideal for precision positioning demanded by science and industry, especially with high duty application cycles. Vacuum compatible versions are available.
New Ultra High Torque 22ECT Brushless Slotless Motor
Portescap introduces the newest addition to our Ultra ECTM mini motor platform, the 22ECT brushless motor, designed specifically to deliver ultra high torque in a compact size. With the unique coil technology and a patent pending multipolar rotor design, the 22ECT has been developed to be one of the most advanced and highest performing brushless slotless motors in its class. The 22ECT is specifically optimized for high continuous torque at low to...
New version of the REVO multi-sensor 5-axis measurement system
Renishaw launch of REVO-2, a new improved version of the revolutionary multi-sensor 5-axis measuring head for use on co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). REVO-2 and its new CMM controller UCC S5, build upon the successful REVO multi-sensor system with enhanced power and communications capability to carry the latest REVO sensors such as the RVP vision measurement probe. The head also has an increased range of movement in the negative A-axis whic...
Motion control for the University of Liverpool’s ‘bedside’ diagnostic instrument for sepsis
Mclennan has been working with scientists and researchers at the University of Liverpool over the past two years to help develop a portable prototype diagnostic instrument that will perform a straightforward, quick, and robust test for detecting sepsis in patients from a small sample of blood. Sepsis is a bacterial infection of the blood, causing potentially fatal whole-body inflammation that injures tissue and organs. The condition may be overco...
SICK Safety-Certified Encoder Protects Operators with Safe Motion Control
SICK UK has announced the launch of the PLd / SIL2-certified DFS60S Pro incremental encoder, enabling motion to be safely controlled in automated guided vehicles or machinery requiring frequent operator interaction. The DFS60S Pro enables safe operator interaction at slow speeds without the need to stop the machine.
SoC supports digital & analogue position sensors
Expanding the company's C2000 Delfino MCU portfolio, Texas Instruments has introduced what is claimed to be the industry’s first on-chip solution supporting both analogue and digital position sensors. The TMS320F28379D and TMS320F28379S MCUs, when combined with DesignDRIVE Position Manager technology, enable simple interfacing to position sensors.
Quad-axis universal drives for voice coil motors
ACS Motion Control has launched a series of compact EtherCAT drive modules for servo, step and voice coil motors. Featuring a powerful dual/quad-axis universal drive, the UDMSD series is designed for motors with a continuous power range of 10 to 100W (200W peak). The type of motor is selected by the user and can be set differently for each drive. The UDMSD series addresses the needs of demanding multi-axis motion applications with limited space, ...
