EasySize now has a Slider Crank mechanism, which considers the dynamically changing inertia, thrust and gravity effects for the Crank, Connecting Rod and Load Mass for any given motion profile. The motion profile can be specified at the Load (linear), or at the Crank (rotary).

Allen-Bradley High-Power Kinetix (HPK-Series) servo motors are available in ratings to 150 hp, making them suitable for applications that require high power capacities, such as material handling or Web converting. This allows machine builders to increase acceleration and improve the positioning, precision and overall system throughput.

T-Mac can be mounted on moving robots, machines, or parts whose position(s) need to be monitored in 6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) space. Output is 1,000 points per second with measurement accuracy of 60 microns in a measurement volume of 15m (49ft).

Type LLM guides provide precise linear positioning, smooth operation, high load-carrying capacity, high stiffness, and unlimited stroke to meet application needs. Standard guides are available in four basic sizes (7mm, 9mm, 12mm, and 15mm); various slide configurations; and standard one-piece rail lengths up to 900mm.

MIC-3723, a 3U CompactPCI 16-bit 8-channel non-isolated analog output card, starts at $695. Each analog output channel is equipped with a 16-bit double-buffered DAC and has an auto-calibration function and BoardID switch.

ODVA DeviceNet cable is available in ODVA-compliant thick (600V-rated), which exceeds CL2 and CL3 per NEC 725.61; thin (300V-rated); and special PLTC thin, designed with 22AWG data pair and PLTC-rated (Power Limited Tray Cable), which exceeds CL2 and CL3 per NEC 725.61.

The Allen-Bradley EWEB module for the CompactLogix Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) provides network connectivity and Web capabilities for simplified remote data monitoring, data sharing and troubleshooting, bringing large-machine capabilities to control system applications with less than 2,000 I/O nodes.

MS46 slides are constructed of lightweight yet extremely durable aluminum. This makes them ideal as the carried axis in a multi-axis assembly because they minimize the total moving system mass to allow the application of smaller, less expensive motors. Slides are available in virtually any desired length.

T-LSR series of computer controlled motorized linear stages offer travel up to 300mm, loads up to 20kg, speeds up to 20mm/s and 0.25 um resolution. Stages may be mounted in x-y or x-y-z configurations without any additional hardware.

SNAP Motion Control Subsystem offers a cohesive development platform for applications that require motion control along with analog, digital, and serial control. The system combines a SNAP Motion host communication module in a SNAP I/O form factor, a SNAP Motion breakout board, and the OptoMotion command library.

Data Distribution Service allows distributed applications to simultaneously support both IPv6 and the current-generation IPv4, easing migration to the newer standard. IPv6 support is required of all U.S. Department of Defense networks and applications starting in 2008, making it essential for engineers to begin adoption of this wide-ranging standard.

SBL series can be mounted between conveyor rollers while providing package detection regardless of color. Sensors can be directly mounted with thru-hole mounting or can be attached with an optional mounting bracket.

Micro-positioning stages are available in travel lengths from 10 mm to 200mm. They have 6 mm lead anti-backlash lead screws or 4 mm lead heavy duty ball screws. They are ideal for pick-and-place, assembly, sampling, testing, robotics, and other precision positioning applications.

The 58 mm diameter industrial grade metric incremental encoder is available with either a standard 10mm shaft or 6mm shaft. The M58 provides resolutions up to 80,000 cycles per turn, resistance to shock and vibration, and IP65 environmental protection. IP67 is available with a sealing flange.

Repair Insight sofware pinpoints source of product failures, tracks and compares repair histories and makes recommendations on which repairs are most effective. The repair module is ideal for electronic manufacturers that are seeking to reduce warranty costs and improve product performance across the entire lifecycle.

MOVI-PLC controller integrates PLC control and motion control in one compact device. This eliminates the need for a dedicated PLC system and drive-to-PLC interfacing and other programming, as well as the wiring and panel space required for a dedicated drive and motion PLC.

Viper s650 and s850 Class 1 clean room robots provide precision motion and full 6-Axis dexterity for clean room assembly, handling, testing and packaging applications.

All servo drives in this series are configurable and can drive permanent magnet brushed or brushless motors, voice coil actuators and closed-loop AC induction motors.

Enhancements in version 3.6 firmware include motion commands, such as Jogging, Find Home, Go Home, Blended Move (1 to 4 moves), and Stop Motion. The controller can support up to four axis (65kHz pulse out and 100kHz in) of motion control and control GE Fanuc MotorCube stepper, PowerCube steppers, S2K servos or any third party stepper or servo with a pulse/direction command interface.

The SNAP PAC system includes PAC Project Software Suite, higher performance SNAP PAC brains, five SNAP I/O modules, four SNAP PAC racks, OptoDataLink enterprise connectivity software, SNAP Motion Control Subsystem, and SNAP PAC Sim, a software application that simulates a fully functioning SNAP PAC controller on a PC.
