Beckhoff EL7201 servomotor terminal for EtherCAT Terminal system
16 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The EL7201 servomotor terminal for the EtherCAT Terminal system is designed for highly dynamic positioning tasks. It integrates a full servo drive including an encoder system into a 12 mm terminal. The terminal is suitable for the direct connection of servomotors up to 200 W, and combining it with servo motors from the AM3100 series enables the implementation of an inexpensive servo axis. Due to the high torque and the high, stable speed, this drive solution is suitable for pick-and-place applications and for use everywhere that high dynamics, compact design and exact positioning are required.

Sick ColorRanger E 3D and colour camera
09 September, 2011 | SICK Pty Ltd
Sick has introduced a high-speed 3D camera with high-quality colour capability. By measuring both the 3D shape and the colour of parts, more reliable decisions can be made to allow production plants to improve their up-time, throughput, and product quality. The ColorRanger E replaces the need for several different cameras for the same task, which reduces the solution cost and complexity.
Tolomatic IMA 55 integrated-motor rod-style actuator
07 September, 2011 | Pneumatic Products
Tolomatic’s larger version of its integrated-motor rod-style actuator is capable of delivering up to 13.3 kN of force with a standard ball screw at a top speed of 30 cm/s. The Tolomatic IMA55 actuator is the largest and most powerful integrated-motor rod-style actuator the company makes and delivers increased dynamic performance and longer service life compared to traditional rod-style actuators.
