The Xtreme Torque product line consists of a series of two
phase hybrid step motors. Although these
steppers are versatile enough to be used in a majority of motion control
applications, the Xtreme Torque motors can be especially utilized in
applications where space and torque are invaluable. This step motor series is currently being
used in the following industries: medical,
avionics, semiconductor and printing. The Xtreme Torque series has the potential
to revolutionize the way NEMA 17 motors are being used. In today's marketplace, size is of the utmost
importance. With the unique
manufacturing process of this motor, it produces up to 35 percent more torque
without requiring more space or power. Not only does this greatly increase space
efficiency, it's also a great benefit in terms of energy savings. Engineers can
now reduce the overall size of their machines and decrease energy use at the
same time. Other NEMA 17 step motors assemble the two end caps to the stator in
such a way that space is not fully utilized internally. When space is
compromised, torque output is compromised. The Xtreme Torque series
utilizes every millimeter of space to gain more torque than the standard motor,
without increasing the overall length of the motor. Maximizing the real
estate within the motor allows for the addition of more rotor laminations, and
since torque is directly proportional to the rotor length, that is how the
increase in torque is generated.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.
New versions of BASF's Ecovio line are both compostable and designed for either injection molding or thermoforming. These combinations are becoming more common for the single-use bioplastics used in food service and food packaging applications, but are still not widely available.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
