‘Brushless Servo Drives’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors), which we summarised at the time by saying "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Actuator system for sampling applications from
Heason Technology: "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products
- take a look at DC motors engineered for transportation purposes
which says: "Rotron brushless DC motors from Ametek, engineered for applications on board heavy-duty transit buses, coaches and other vehicles, deliver long-life power solutions serving up to 60,000 hours.".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, CNC router reduces time to market,
as well as GE controller firmware has online programming from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK,
and Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions.
