05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
The Portescap Athlonix high power density brush DC motors are compact, high-efficiency, high-endurance motors delivering high speed-to-torque performance in a compact lighter weight package (15-53 g depending on frame size) with output power of up to 9 W.
X-Y positioning base
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Baldor Australia Pty Ltd
Baldor Electric Company has launched a ready-engineered linear stepper X-Y positioning base that is capable of dramatically increasing productivity in a wide range of machinery applications.
Non-ball lead screws
01 October, 2008 | Supplied by: Motion Technologies Pty Ltd
Non-ball lead screws by Kerk Motion Products can be designed to self-lock and prevent back driving in vertical applications, without an external brake, unlike traditional ball screws.
Industry pushes science
29 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Fast Automation Pty Ltd
The Antarctic Plateau is considered the most inhospitable inhabited place on Earth. At Dome C, within the Australian Antarctic Territory, mid-winter minimum temperatures drop to -81°C and access to and from the outside world becomes impossible outside the very small window of 12 weeks, during which time the sun rises above the horizon.
Robots help recreate the Big Bang
26 September, 2008
Two of ABB's IRB 140 robots were part of the laser welding system that manufactured the two accelerator rings of the Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN on the Swiss-French border.
Solar cell production robot
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has announced a standard compact solution for solar cell manufacturing plants — the FlexPicker-System Solar. The standardised robotic cell was specially designed for loading, unloading and handling processes in automated production lines for solar cells.
AC servomotors
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
The short mechanical time constant of the Mavolor MA Series AC servomotors makes them suitable for control operations, while an extremely short electrical time constant provides high peak torque at high speed. A high ‘theoretical’ acceleration also gives an extremely fast response time.
Water sensors
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering World-Beam QS30H2O opposed mode water sensors provide a solution for efficiently detecting water-based liquids in clear, frosted, coloured or even partially opaque bottles or containers.
Applied Measurement linear position sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
The LCIT series is based on a patented linear position sensor design that features all of the benefits of current LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) inductive technology, but at a significantly lower cost.
Synchronous servomotors
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Mavilor’s BL Series is a synchronous electrical servomotor, with three winding phases, supplied with sinusoidal or trapezoidal current wave forms.
Clean room robot
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has upgraded its IRB 6640 robot to create a ‘clean room’ version. Working in close cooperation with strategic partners from the photovoltaic industry, the project was undertaken in response to the strict specifications for thin film production processes used in solar module manufacturing, where cleanliness is a critical factor.
Oil analysis sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: SEW-Eurodrive Pty Ltd
The DUO10A oil analysis sensor is designed to aid the prevention of unplanned gear-unit downtime. It allows the early detection of gear-unit oil deterioration and can prevent eventual gear-unit damage or failure, making it a key element of any effective predictive maintenance program.
Vacuum silencers
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: PIAB Vacuum Technologies
The Mini and Midi Coax silencers have been developed by Piab so that users can enjoy a lower sound level when using the Coax cartridges for direct integration or when using them on the Vacuum Gripper Systems VGS or the pump unit PMAT/Vactrap platforms.
Hall sensor amplifier
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
With fully programmable features, this hall sensor amplifier is specifically engineered to optimise the performance of Portescap’s brushless motors in applications where efficiency, high acceleration or safety are of primary significance. All inputs and outputs are clearly identified to facilitate easy startup in less than 10 mins.
Air gap sensor
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The Sopa air gap sensor is designed to be used in tooling applications to make sure that a part is seated properly in a jig before it is machined, welded or assembled. It is able to measure gaps of between 20 and 200 micron. The Sopa air gap sensor is precise enough to detect if a work piece is obstructed by a human hair.
