Molex Incorporated recently unveiled high performance MX150™ single- and dual-row headers for use in high-temperature automotive and commercial vehicle applications. Complementing widely used and industry-recognised MX150 receptacle connectors (series 33471 and 33472), the MX150 sealing interface has been optimized to meet IP6K7 and IP6K9K sealing requirements.

According to Sandvik Coromant, the manufacturing industry is about to see the launch of increased threading security. With the addition of new C geometry chip forming inserts to the established CoroThread® 266 programme it is now possible to maximize chip control and enable more continuous unsupervised machining.

A Madrid-based precision engineering business specialising in complex parts for aerospace and defence applications has invested in a Renishaw REVO™ five-axis measuring head and probe system. The change has resulted in a reduction in inspection time by as much as a factor of 5, ensuring quality control and inspection keep up with its high-productivity CNC machine tools.

At the IMTEX exhibition taking place in Bangalore, India, from 20th to 26th January 2011, Renishaw will highlight a range of process control solutions that help tackle the increasing drive to lean manufacturing, from new technologies for pre-process machine calibration, to on-line and off-line post-process measurement.

Analog Devices has introduced a family of high-performance LDO (low dropout) regulators that generates the low noise, low voltage supply rails and extended battery life required for superior performance in mobile handsets and other battery-powered devices. The ADP120 and ADP121 LDOs are available in the industry’s smallest wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP), as well as a standard TSOT (thin, small-outline transistor) option, offering design...

Analog Devices has introduced what is said to be the industry’s smallest and most flexible, multichannel digital-to-analog converters. Ideal for designers needing flexibility when specifying converters for high-voltage applications, such as factory process control, instrumentation and dc set-point-control applications, the offering includes 12 converters ranging from 12- to 16-bit dual and quad channel devices operating over a wide voltage ran...

The challenge is to build machines that can help humans work in, and explore space. Working side by side with humans, or operating where the risks are too great for people, machines like Robonaut - a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA - will expand our ability for construction and discovery. The Robonaut project has adopted the design concept of an ant...

The new C8051F800 microcontroller (MCU) family is said to offer the industry's fastest capacitive touch sense capability. Leveraging Silicon Labs' patent-pending sensing technology, the F800 family enables developers to add sophisticated touch sense interfaces to a wide range of consumer and industrial electronics products such as set-top boxes, residential light controls, thermostat controls, home security panels, commercial point-of-sale (POS) ...

Hypertac’s HyperSpring products combine the company’s high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology, with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact, to produce interconnections with improved signal integrity, high reliability and current density, and proven parametric stability over time. Originally designed for semiconductor wafer testing, HyperSpring technology has already found applications in a variety of environments, includin...

Zytronic continues to find exciting application openings for its proprietary Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT). In the latest example, the company has produced a specially designed touchscreen solution now deployed in Microsoft® Corporation’s Envisioning Lab. The touch sensor has been developed for use in the Lab’s Spatial Desk - a large, fully touch-enabled, multi-monitor workstation.
