Multi-axis to support a large number of motor types
The newest in Delta Tau's Geo Drive family, this servo amplifier comes in 4, 6 and 8-axis packages, and contains a programmable Turbo PMAC2 motion controller. It also includes PLC programming features for logic control, CNC, gantries and robotics. Since it is based on the Turbo PMAC2 motion controller, the Geo Brick works perfectly with all PMAC development tools, user knowledge base and source code. The amplifier comes standard with direct-line connections on 240 VAC mains, three-phase operation, and Universal ac input (97-265 VAC), 12 to 240 VDC operation. The four-axis and eight-axis Geo Brick is rated for five-amp continuous 10-amp peak per axis, while the six-axis Geo Brick comes with four aces rated for five amps continuous/10 amps peak and two-axes rated for 15 amps continuous/30 amps peak per two seconds.

Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
