‘Vision Systems’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Laser Design - take a look at Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling which says: "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Heason Technology, Actuator system for sampling applications, as well as NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments, and Martek releases compact onboard DC/DC converters from Martek Power.
