Product News

The new SVP 7010 expands the Sytronix family of ready-to-install variable-speed pump drives offered by Rexroth.

HEIDENHAIN previously introduced the use of Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ communication protocol into its 400 series rotary encoder product line in November 2013. The company is offering this interface in its ECN/EQN 1300 optical absolute encoders.

Amacoil-Uhing Model RG linear drive assemblies feature an option for fine adjustment of travel distance.

WEISS North America Inc. has introduced its latest in dynamic drive technology for your basic axis, the lightweight, aluminum profile-based HG 12 and HG 25 linear motor axes.

For use on machine tools, HEIDENHAIN Corp.s newest absolute LC 185 and LC 485 sealed linear encoders are now available as a complete family.

HEIDENHAIN is adding another absolute linear kit encoder to its kit encoder family.

Available from Heidenhain Corp., Leine & Linde introduces a new stainless steel version of the ISA and IHA 600 series of absolute rotary encoders.

Amacoil-Uhing Model RG3 linear drives are now available with an option which doubles the drive's thrust capacity without significantly increasing the size of the unit.

To meet the need of linear measurement machine applications where high force is required, Heidenhain offers ETEL ironcore linear motors called the LMS and LMG series.

The new absolute LC 195M and LC 495M sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that require a Mitsubishi interface.

With the high demands of today's market for the latest innovative technology, Sodick Inc. is continuously working on R&D for new machines that are faster, more accurate and achieve a finer surface finish. The most recent line of machines to be included in Sodick's product range is the SL-G Wire EDM Machine range.

The right-hand and left-hand versions of the EMCO Maier VT 160 and VT 250, when linked with one of three basic conveyor options--oval, meander, and crossover-meander designs--provide a complete machining solution for workpieces with diameters of up to 250mm, a workpiece weight of 8 kg, and a workpiece height of 150mm with 30 workpieces (oval) or 50 workpieces (meander).

ETEL has introduced the LMS ironcore linear motor series, distributed through Heidenhain Corp.

Bosch Rexroth is offering educational resource kits to help machine builders, systems integrators and manufacturing end-users address engineering challenges in factory automation, linear motion and mobile engineering.

HEIDENHAIN releases its newest addition to vacuum encoder technology with the LIP 400 series linear encoder system.

GF AgieCharmilles' Mikron HSM 20U LP (linear performance) milling machine is available in 3- and 5-axis versions and can produce parts via simultaneous 5-axis high-speed machining. The machine's 50,000-rpm, 11.4-hp Step-Tec spindle assists in imparting surface finishes as fine as 0.05µm R_a. The machine has linear motors for the main machine axes and direct-drive motors for the B and C axes.

With the newly revised LF series linear scales, HEIDENHAIN says it now offers higher precision than ever for use on high accuracy machine tools, jig bore and grinding machines, and linear motors.

Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.

To enhance the load carrying efficiency of Uhing traverse drives and to prevent them from slipping, Amacoil has announced the availability of a linear bearing slide load carrier.

The new absolute LC 115 and LC 415 sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines with measuring lengths up to 4240mm.
