All motors normally need two separate cables: one for the motor speed encoder and the other for the motor power supply. With the Hybrid Motor Cable Project called HMC 6, HEIDENHAIN has integrated the encoder lines into the power cable so now only one cable is needed between a synchronous motor and electrical cabinet.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. has embedded two of the most commonly used expansion functions for micro programmable logic controllers, Ethernet communications and analog I/O into its new FX3GE Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
To meet the demand in more motion control applications, HEIDENHAIN has again expanded its rotary encoder product line with either EnDat or SSI optical absolute encoders to include additional TTL and HTL signals. The new ROQ/EQN 425 rotary encoder is available with a solid shaft or hollow shaft with a mounted stator coupling.
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. announces the OTT/JAKOB Analog Position Monitoring System with the Electronic Analog Sensor, which allows you to monitor your drawbar for performance and wear.
Vortec's new Dual Action Personal Air Conditioner (PAC) is meant for employees working in extreme temperatures, and is said to result in increased productivity, according to a news release from ITW Vortec.
As a design alternative to screw-based linear drive systems, the Amacoil-Uhing Model RS4 drive nut provides backlash-free linear motion and simplifies changes to linear pitch.
ACU-RITE's 3500i CNC control has been designed with innovative, operator-oriented enhancements that will facilitate an intuitive transition for customers to the next generation of control technology.
