Many manufacturers use time-consuming and potentially dangerous manual processes to inspect servo motors for insulation issues. If this sounds like your company, it might be time to switch over to an automated, remote-based servo motor condition monitoring solution that works around the clock.
With the release of two new products, not only have ADVANCED Motion Controls (AMC) added panel mount servo drives to their FlexPro family, but they’ve also added Ethernet/IP to their growing list of supported network protocols at ADVANCED Motion Controls.
A harmonic gearing system has three basic components: a wave generator, a flex spline, and a circular spline. The elliptical shape of the wave generator, rotating against the thin, tooth lined flex spline, drives or is driven by the rigid circular spline which has more teeth than the flex spline.
“It’s a MATCH – that fits” – is what can be said about the first cooperation project between the two handling technology specialists Zimmer Group and J. Schmalz GmbH, and that is also the name of the joint product.
Less is more. This statement also applies to Schmalz’s new PXT modular gripper system. Because users can assemble their gripper quickly and easily from just a few standard components – and even assemble it themselves if they wish.
Industrial applications require a high degree of flexibility and an equally low susceptibility to errors. Whether in machine and plant engineering, conveyor technology or the packaging industry—the universally applicable VOS 2-D vision sensors provide fast and reliable measurement data for precise quality control.
Omron Automation Americas has recently announced that it will begin selling a new industrial robot series, the i4L. The i4L is a compact SCARA robot with strong performance, a flexible design for simple installation, and easy-to-use features that maximize productivity.
With the SupraCube, Festo is presenting for the first time a SupraMotion concept in which the superconductor unit can be separated from the electrical cooler and can operate autonomously for up to two hours.
OnRobot has launched the MG10, a versatile, high-performance, easy to use magnetic gripper for material handling, assembly and machine tending applications in manufacturing, automotive and aerospace environments.
OTTO Motors, a provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for material handling, recently announced that it has launched the next generation of its market-leading heavy-class AMR.
Extremely fast for maximum throughput, the highly precise GP4 robot is equipped with a 4 kg payload for high-volume small component processing. Axis speeds up to 1,000 degrees/s and incredibly fast acceleration/deceleration control for all robot positions optimize overall productivity.
Cognex Corporation recently announced the launch of its DataMan 8700 Series of handheld barcode readers. Built on a completely redesigned platform, this next generation of handheld readers delivers cutting-edge performance and ease of use with no tuning or operator training required.
With the launch of its new online service portal, Endress+Hauser Canada customers now have every day, around-the-clock online access to resources and tools to perform self-service functions and manage their support and service cases.
The FLIR Vue TZ20, the first high resolution, dual thermal sensor gimbal purpose-built for the DJI Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 300 airframes is now available in Canada.
In addition to providing solid inductive sensing, our newest inductive sensors deliver the condition monitoring and advanced IO-Link features of Balluff’s Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS).
