The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6200 servo drive has advanced safety features that are designed to help manufacturers protect personnel and improve production efficiency.
Electric linear actuator
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Pneumatic Products
The integrated-motor actuator (IMA) from Tolomatic combines a servomotor with Tolomatic’s rod-style actuator in a compact package. The IMA’s integrated design provides higher dynamic performance by eliminating the need for separate motors, couplers, motor mounts, gearing and belts. The result is reduced component costs, assembly time and failure points.
Controllers with long-life contacts
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Cynebar
Watlow has developed its No-Arc technology that extends the life of relays. A No-Arc relay is a mechanical relay with arc suppression provided through the use of smart electronics. This technology reduces the amount of arcing across the relay contacts and has a life of more than four million cycles compared to relays without arc suppression that have a life of approximately 100,000 operations.
Non-contact torque sensor
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Metromatics Pty Ltd
Futek Advanced Sensor Technology has introduced an internally amplified rotary torque sensor. The sensor is a non-contact (slip-ring-free) rotary torque sensor, using inductance for power and output signals, and has a compact design and supports rotational speeds of up to 7000 rpm.
Gantry-mounted robot
10 November, 2009 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has launched its first robot combining the advantages of an articulated robot and a linear gantry for improved flexibility and cycle times.
Optical encoders
26 October, 2009 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has released the Kübler F36 optical encoder series, designed completely without gears to eliminate wear and sensitivity to magnetic fields. F36 absolute encoders feature a compact size of 36 mm with a hollow shaft diameter of up to 10 mm, making them suitable for drive engineering and medical applications.
