The ultimate in precision and efficiency
Modern Brushless DC (BLDC) motor controllers that are housed in compact assemblies are ideal for integration into systems that require precision control and efficiency. This enabling technology fulfils the requirements of both simple and complex motor systems, while offering significant advantages and improving time to market. By Don Laskay, Data Device Corporation.
Custom-made motor control
How FPGA technology is being used in industrial applications to provide performance with flexibility, and to lower system costs. By Stefano Zammattio, Altera.
New hollow shaft actuators pack a punch
Harmonic Drive has announced a new lightweight Hollow Shaft Servo Actuators. Used in industrial applications where high accuracy, high torque and low weight are essential, the new CHA-14 and CHA-17 actuators go one step further by introducing a central hollow shaft. This aids original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in minimising complexity in varied industrial applications such as offshore oil and gas, broadcast, automation and robotics.
World’s best accuracy at high rotation speeds
ams introduces a series of magnetic position sensors featuring a breakthrough technology capable of producing extremely accurate angle measurements of rotors spinning at high speed. The “47 series” position sensors include the AS5047D, AS5147 and AS5247 with DAEC (Dynamic Angle Error Compensation), which eliminates the measurement error attributable to propagation delay.
Optimising the efficiency of electric motors
Low Power Consumption is the Key Many electric motors consume more current than necessary just because they do not operate within their optimum efficiency range. Field-oriented control (FOC) is ideally suited to solve this problem by enabling precise control based on torque and speed.
Four-channel video decoder improves driver safety
Designed for around-view automotive applications, Intersil has announced a four-channel analogue video decoder with a built-in analogue video encoder. The TW9966 can replace up to five discrete components to simplify design and save board space with four analogue video decoders and an analogue video encoder integrated into a single chip.
Development kits support advanced robotics
XMOS and Synapticon have jointly announced a range of development kits which allow developers to address new opportunities in rapidly growing sectors such as consumer and professional robotics, transportation, and the $170bn (USD) factory automation market. This enables emerging trends such as Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.
Linear CMOS Image Sensor features Direct UV Sensitivity
Hamamatsu Photonics are proud to introduce the S11639 CMOS linear image sensor with APS (Active Pixel Sensor) technology. APS technology allows the S11639 to achieve a combination of a very high sensitivity, at 1,300 V/(lx•s), and, a high speed video data rate of 10 MHz. This is accomplished by simultaneously integrating charge for all pixels.
DAC demo for HEVC/H.265 IP core
Design Automation Conference debutant Allegro DVT plans to perform a live demonstration of its HEVC/H.265 encoder IP core. The demonstration will be conducted on a prototyping platform. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), alias H.265, is the next generation video standard. It brings 50% bitrate savings compared to equivalent H.264/AVC encodings.
Intelligent controller targets AGVs
Anintelligent controller capable of directly driving two DC motors up to 120Amps each has been introduced byRoboteq.Priced at only $425 in single quantity, the XDC2230 is targeted at designers of Mobile Robots, Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Warehouse Automation Systems or any other high power motor control application.
