Avago’s AEDT-9140 Encoder Module Series
Avago Technologies announced a new series of compact three-channel high temperature optical incremental encoder modules for use in industrial and factory automation equipment. Avago’s AEDT-9140 encoder module series, which are available in a variety of counts per revolution (CPR) and shaft diameter options, are priced competitively and designed to enable the reduction in overall motor […]
Pneumatic Step Motor is First Fully MRI-compatible Motor
Engineers at Johns Hopkins University are investigating the use of a robot (MrBot) that can operate within the closed bore of magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) equipment to help physicians perform remote biopsies of tumors under MRI guidance. Researchers involved in the project say that MRI is ideal for this type of application because it is the […]
QuickSilver OEM Servo Motor Controller with CANopen
QuickSilver has added a CANopen option to its OEM servo motor controller. CANopen may be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave. This allows the controllers to share I/O and registers with other CANopen enabled SilverDust™ controllers or 3rd party CANopen devices (i.e. I/O blocks, encoders, PLCs…). For a multiaxis system, connect several IG-Js, make one […]
Bosch Rexroth’s New Inline I/O Modules
Hoffman Estates, IL – Bosch Rexroth has added three new Inline I/O modules that reduce engineering time and cost while adding more functionality and versatility to the company’s family of scalable PLCs and PACs. Ideal for motion-based machine builders and industrial OEMs in the printing, food and beverage, packaging, converting, woodworking, conveyor and general automation […]
Servo Motors by B&R
The dynamics of a system can generally be characterized based on two values: the available motor torque and the moment of inertia for the power transmission system. The later of the two consists of the moment of inertia of both the motor and the load and is an important measurement of the system’s dynamics. Lower […]
