‘Sensing Distance’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
HT Servo motor has integrated microstepping driver from
HT Servo , which we summarised at the time by saying "HT Servo has released its improved Silverpak 23D Plus, a high-torque NEMA 23-step motor with an integrated microstepping driver. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release IFM PMD camera sees in three dimensions at once from
IFM Electronic: "The Efector PMD 3D camera from IFM Electronic is the first industrial camera that 'sees' in three dimensions at once. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Resolve Optics
- take a look at Resolve Optics introduces compact zoom lenses
which says: "Resolve Optics is offering custom zoom lenses that are claimed to combine compactness and high levels of performance.".
Take a look also at the news release from Sick Stegmann, SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders,
as well as EO adds more than 30 lenses to Techspec range from Edmund Optics,
and AC drives permit wider use of magnet motors from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division.
