Galil Motion Control's
DMC-41x3
is the latest product in Galil's Econo series. The new product offers many
enhancements compared to the prior Econo controllers including Ethernet
100Base-T, a USB 2.0 port, higher speed performance, larger program memory,
analog inputs and optically isolated I/O.
The
DMC-41x3 operates stand-alone or interfaces to a PC with Ethernet 10/100Base-T
or USB. An auxiliary RS232 port is also provided. The product is available in
one through eight axis formats, and each axis is user-configurable for stepper
or servo motor operation. The controller can be connected with external drives
of any power range or with Galil's multi-axis (500W per axis) servo drives or
60V, 3A microstepping drives. Galil drives install directly onto the DMC-41x3 controller.
Standard
I/O of the DMC-41x3 controller includes 16 optically isolated inputs and
outputs for the 1-4 axis models and 32 I/O
for the 5-8 axis models. Eight analog
inputs are provided in addition to optically isolated forward and reverse
limits and a home input for each axis. Other controller features include PID
compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, memory for user
programs, multitasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs, and I/O
processing for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion
include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular
interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing, ECAM and PVT.
The
DMC-41x3 controller and drive
package is 8.1 x 7.25 x 1.5 inch for the 1- thru 4-axis model and 11.5 x 7.25 x
1.5 inch for the 5- thru 8- axis model. It accepts power from a single 20-60V
dc source. The DMC-41x3 is
available as a card-level product or packaged in a metal enclosure.
Like
all Galil controllers the DMC-41x3
controllers are programmed with Galil's intuitive, 2-letter command language.
Pricing
for the 4-axis DMC-4143 controller
is $1,495 in quantity 1 and $995 in quantity 100.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
