If you have need of a customized linear positioner delivered quickly and at a non-custom cost, Dynact wants you to take a look at their LP100 series. Though compact, they offer stroke lengths of up to 20 feet using Vee, Acme, and zero-backlash Acme screws. The positioners are driven by an in-line stepper motor or 24V dc servo motor and offer options such as: electromechanical fail-safe brakes, magnetic switch relays, environmental sealing, magnetic reed switches, linear potentiometer, optical encoders, and special mounting options. An LP100 can position loads up to 60 lbs at up to 12 in/sec, with a maximum thrust of 200 lbs. They can be supplied with a matching Indexer/Driver for stepper motor models, or controller and amplifier for the dc servo positioners. Dynact, Inc., Product Code 4210.
A next-generation guided ammunition system for intercepting enemy fire that Lockheed Martin is developing for the Army has hit its targets in an initial series of tests by the company.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
