M2M Connectivity has announced an ethernet board for the Wavecom Fastrack Supreme GPRS modem.
Zero backlash couplings
11 March, 2009 | Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
When fitting stepper motors, servomotors, gearboxes and encoders to machines, care must be taken to ensure all devices are co-axial (no angular or parallel misalignment). Failure to do so will place excessive loads on bearings and reduce the life of the components. Using flexible couplings with some angular and parallel compliance will ensure this while maintaining constant velocity and low backlash. The Bervina flexible couplings are constructed from a one-piece aluminium, steel or stainless steel section. There no wearing parts to require lubrication and they are constant velocity.

Rotary sealing blister machine
11 March, 2009 | Macropak Pty Ltd
The Noack N 921 rotary sealing blister machine from Romaco requires a minimum of space (4 m). The balcony design and servo drives improve product safety and harmonise all mechanical movements. This results in highly precise production processes at low life-cycle cost. Tool-free format changeover supports small batch sizes. The QuickFeed feeding unit, with its airglide system, enables product changes within seconds. The complete unit is manually removed for cleaning while production continues with an already prepared unit.
SCADA with Windows integrated security
11 March, 2009 | Schneider Electric
CitectSCADA V7.10 introduces support for Windows integrated security and Microsoft Windows Vista. Windows security integration allows for easier maintenance of CitectSCADA as it is no longer necessary to create and maintain user accounts within the SCADA system. Instead, users of the SCADA system can use their network username and password to access the CitectSCADA system.
