Thanks to the MCLib software, the device parameters can be easily configured and monitored, using simple functions written in C/C++ ...More >> High-reliability Gearboxes and Bearings cut Conveyor Maintenance and Energy Costs at Aggregates Quarry  Conveyor uptime has increased dramatically at Corcoran Concrete's quarry in County Mayo, following a switch to Dodge-brand gearboxes and bearings from Baldor. The decision was made following trials on conveyors in the sand production area of the quarry. Here, bearings were failing as often as three times a year, and the gearboxes typically lasted only 12 months. In some cases, a bearing failure also meant changing the gearbox as well, as it had to be removed by force - sustaining damage in the process. In these cases, the material costs were dwarfed by the day's downtime needed for the repair. ...More >> Ultra-Precise Positioning Achieved with Zero-Backlash Rack & Pinion Drives from ATLANTA Drive Systems  ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. offers a range of zero-backlash rack & pinion drives that eliminate system backlash by means of a split-pinion and dual-pinion arrangement, providing ultra-precise positioning and repeatability. Positioning accuracy is maintained during acceleration and deceleration, as well as for direction of travel reversals. The backlash is eliminated by using two pinions - one to drive the axis and the other to engage the opposite tooth flank and take up the backlash. Mechanically preloaded split-pinion drives utilize an axial spring to load one pinion half against the other. Electrically preloaded dual-pinion drives utilize two motors, each driving one pinion, which are loaded against each other by means of a special motor controller. ...More >>Haydon Switch & Instrument & Kerk Motion Products Merge, Form HaydonKerk Motion Solutions  Haydon Switch & Instrument, Inc., a worldwide leader in motor miniaturization, announces a merger with Kerk Motion Products, one of the world's largest manufacturers of non-ball lead screw, linear rails, and actuator systems.

Quick Lok Threadless Hydraulic Couplings by Gates Corporation  Gates Quick-Lok threadless couplings eliminate hydraulic leaks and increase assembly line productivity. Their innovative design makes them quick to connect in compact, power-intensive machines, and they have a big impact on your operations. Though threadless connectors sometimes have a reputation as expensive, niche products for limited applications, Gates is changing that. Quick-Lok assemblies are replacing threaded couplings in a wide range of applications. Analyses have shown that by reducing installation and warranty costs, a Quick-Lok assembly dramatically lowers total OEM cost of ownership, making it the ideal solution. ...More >>New TR Flanged Pinion Range Available from Atlanta Drive Systems  ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce a new range of ISO 9409-1 flanged pinions, which have compact designs to reduce the amount of drive torque required. Traditionally, flanged pinions have large pitch diameters which increase the amount of torque on the reducer they mount to. With the new TR Pinion range, the pinion pitch diameters are significantly smaller, reducing the drive torque required and allowing a smaller reducer to be used.

Applications were previously implemented using a move and expose sequence where the scanner would mark the part and the servo would reposition the part for a subsequent marking operation. This approach has limitations when a feature being marked exceeds the field of view of the scanner. Small angular and linear offsets in the servo axes produce discontinuities in the features that cross the boundary between adjacent marking fields. By combining the servo and scanner control into a single platform, it is now possible to mark large features by combining continuous motion of the servo axis with simultaneous marking by the scanner.Direct, coordinated control of scanner and servo axes eliminates the programming overhead associated with gluing together two separate control systems, resulting in reduced implementation time and increased marking efficiency. Scanner motion can be combined with rotary axis motion to mark on the face or edge of cylindrical profiles. ...More >> Galil Controllers Help Astronomers Peer into the Deepest Realms of the Universe  Helping to solve the mysteries of the universe is the goal of astronomers working for University of California Observatories (UCO). As part of their quest, the UCO team is creating the first comprehensive survey and map of the distant universe. Called the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe (DEEP), the team uses twin 10-m W.M. Keck Telescopes in Hawaii, the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California, and the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The telescopes are collecting light emitted from stars or faint galaxies about 14 billion years ago. Detecting and analyzing this light requires a complex compliment of advanced mechanical, electronic and optical instruments, sensors and software. Many of these instruments, including the DEIMOS spectrograph (Deep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph which is able to magnify the telescope's capacity by a factor of seven for faint-galaxy optical spectroscopy), require precise motion control. ...More >> R+W MICROFLEX Series FK Micro Coupling Preserves Tiny Bearings  The MICROFLEX is a new flexible miniature coupling that is only 5.5mm in diameter by 9mm in length.
