Low Cost, Plug-and-Play, One to Three-axis Stand-alone Motion Control Systems from OES
The Sonata series of motion control systems from Optimal Engineering Systems (OES) is a stand-alone, easy-to-use, plug-and-play, cost effective solution for motion control applications. The systems in this series support up to 3 axes of motion, in any combination of steppers, DC servo and brushless servo motors, and voice coil motors.
Linear Stage Series L-511: Precision with Small Steps
PImiCos presents the new L-511 precision linear stage series. The stages achieve unidirectional repeatability up to 0.1µm and minimum incremental motion of up to 0.02µm.
Silicon Works adopts Hardent’s VESA DSC decoder IP
Hardent and Silicon Works have announced that Silicon Works has adopted the Hardent VESA DSC (Display Stream Compression) decoder IP. The VESA DSC IP enables the company to deliver compelling Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) displays while meeting critical time-to-market constraints.
Diagnostic kit aids installation of encoder systems
Renishaw's TONiC linear and rotary encoder systems feature integral set-up LEDs that are usually sufficient for installation purposes, giving a visual indication of the signal level and calibration status. Those customers with the most challenging set-up requirements are now supported by an optional PC software package for use in conjunction with a diagnostic hardware kit.
Optical encoder modules target motion control
The AEDT-981x Encoders from Avago Technologies are now in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. The industrial-grade, high-temperature-rated (-40 to 115°C), three-channel optical incremental encoder modules build on the Avago HEDS-9140 series. The encoders offer a built-in interpolator circuit and enable high resolution in a compact module for motion control applications.
EtherCAT slave controller is first to integrate RT, latency-free I/O peripherals
TRINAMIC has announced an EtherCAT-compliant slave controller IC. It is the world’s first EtherCAT slave controller to integrate real-time, latency-free I/O peripherals. The TMC8460 slave controller is also the first device in an EtherCAT-compliant interface product line currently under development at TRINAMIC, based on the company’s active membership in the EtherCAT Technology Group.
