Servo control

The SM2315 is a controller, amplifier, and encoder built into what this company says is a "true" brushless dc servo motor at a price which is competitive with many stepper motor systems. A single microprocessor is said to handle all processing functions, including the PID loop, the trajectory generator, the user program execution, I/O control, and all communications.

Soft start

MAC? 2000 soft starts are designed for applications where a less sophisticated, lower cost motor control is required. The product is a single unit which can be used for single or two-speed applications, and can be applied through 17 full load amps in 230 and 460V ratings and 12 full load amps for 575V ratings. It also has a small footprint for applications where space is at a premium.

Submicron positioning

DF-1 differential micrometer positioning heads are reportedly among the smallest commercially available positioning devices. The product is said be mountable to linear slides, or to the company's 99 series subminiature multiaxis positioners by using a finely threaded barrel behind the moving positioning spindle, which has a hardened ball at its end to reduce friction and wear.

Servo motors

G330 Series Brushless Servo Motors are a value-priced family of brushless motors which are said to deliver high-performance servo control while simplifying machine design and lowering cost. The product has a reported torque range of 0.5 to 5 Nm at speeds up to 9,300 rpm. The motors are available in 55, 70, and 100 mm frame sizes, and are said to have high dynamics to improve cycle time.

AnarkCAD/CAE Model Clean-Up: Reduce Iterative Cycles
This webinar featured research and survey results related to problems associated with preparing CAD geometry for CAE applications.  We discussed how Recipe-Based Automation can help create "just-in-time" CAE-ready geometry each time a cad model is updated. Watch the Presentation

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
