DeltaMax 1-1/2 axis position systems gain flexibility with the addition of encoder-based motors to the existing line of resolver-based motors. Eleven new 1,500 rpm rated motors join the line, and they are available in power ranges from 400W to 11 kW. Designated the A Series, these new motors use a 2048-line encoder and associate circuitry to deliver 8,192 pulses per revolution. The motors also have higher inertia than the resolver-based motors. DeltaMax offers one active servo axis with one half axis follower fiber-optic input. Other features include two 32-bit RISC processors for fast program execution, all digital electronics, SMT boards, status displays, and two RS-232 ports.

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.
