Chris Rand, Editor, writes:
The way we use the
internet continues to change, and this week Microsoft has announced
its own, home-grown search engine to take on the dominant Google.
However strong Google may be (and I bet there aren't many
Engineeringtalk readers who don't use it), Microsoft has come from
nowhere to take over in a market before (browsers), and it will do it
again in others. Whether search is one of them remains to be seen;
Google is racing ahead, and its new desktop search tool has had many
users claiming it's transformed the way they work.
Will
Microsoft's own-brand search tool (now available in a test version and
believed to be having a full launch at the start of 2005) be more
useful to us in the technical sector than Google? Maybe: the company
said at the launch that its search engine returns results from five
billion web pages, more than anyone else, but Google then smartly
announced that it's extended its index to cover eight billion pages.
This is important, as those of us looking for non-mainstream,
technically-based material could see a benefit from this growth.
Fortunately if you're looking for a slip clutch/brake or a shaft
encoder with a Hiperface interface, the results are still generally
good (unlike if you're looking for reviews on refrigerators or other
domestic goods, where the first 10,000 results have been over-run by
automated shopping sites).
But these things come and go:
Microsoft took over the browser market from the totally dominant
Netscape in 2001-2002, but now there are signs of a rally from
Netscape's spiritual successor, Firefox, which had its full 1.0 launch
too this week. This free browser is a lot better than Internet
Explorer, and I'd thoroughly recommend downloading and trying it.

OUR TOP TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
====================================================================
[1] SLIP CLUTCH BRAKE PROVIDES MANUFACTURER OPTIONS
(Mayr Transmissions, 4 November 2004)
Mayr's new
ROBA-contitorque continuous slip clutch and brake is a series of
adjustable, reliable, non-contact wear free, constant torque units.
The design will be suitable for slip duties such as winders and driven
pinch rolls, screw cap closing, and small test dynamometers, for
instance. It offers contactless, wear-free, torque transmission, soft
start and take up, accurate repeatability and precise torque
limitation.

[2] LUBRICATION-FREE CHAIN FOR HEAVY DUTY USE
(Renold Chain, 10 November 2004)
Renold Chain has
extended its Syno range of lubrication-free chains with the
development of a polymer bush chain, for heavy-duty applications, that
requires no lubrication at all. The chain is designed with a specially
developed polymer sleeve that fits between the pin and the bush for
high wear and fatigue resistance. Another specially developed polymer
has been produced for the chain's rollers that have excellent impact
resistance and load-bearing capabilities claimed Renold. Sizes range
from 1.75 to 2.5 inch pitch for BS chain and 1.5 to 2.5 inch pitch for
ANSI chain.

[3] LD CONNECTORS IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
(Tyco Electronics UK, 4 November 2004)
The latest in Tyco
Electronics' Stax range of elastomeric connectors, Stax LD, is claimed
to deliver improved electrical performance, reliability and durability
compared to other connectors on the market. They provide higher
conductivity and line consistency to enable tighter pitch
applications, while requiring less deflection force. Able to
accommodate both analogue and digital signals, the elastomeric
connectors are effective at high signal speeds, and provide minimal
signal distortion at high frequencies.

[4] SHAFT ENCODERS WITH SPEED AND POSITION CONTROL
(Sick, 9 November 2004)
Until now, an incremental encoder
has been required to control the speed of a motor and a secondary
absolute encoder needed to provide information on the position of the
motor shaft after the power was switched off. The new Sick Stegmann
Sincos SRS 64 and SRM 64 shaft encoders with Hiperface interfaces for
AC induction motors provide both speed and absolute position control
in one cost effective unit. The interface allows them to operate with
servo drives from most of the leading vendors. Both the SRS 64 and SRM
64 produce over two million counts per revolution of the motor shaft,
compared with the typical incremental encoder output of just 1,024
counts, the company points out

[5] SERVO MOTORS FOR DAMP AND DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS
(Rockwell Automation, 4 November 2004)
Rockwell
Automation has extended the Allen-Bradley MP Series of servo motors
with models suitable for use in the damp and dusty environments found
in food and beverage packaging and materials handling applications.
Available in four frame sizes, they provide continuous stall torque
from 1.6 to 19.4 Nm and peak torque from 3.6 to 48.6 Nm IP 66 and 67.
Rated to resist liquid contamination, the MPF Series servo motors
share the performance characteristics of the MP Series, with extra
features including a stainless steel shaft with hardened seal,
quadruple O-ring seals for the connectors and a two-part food grade
epoxy coating.

[6] DATA SERVICE MEANS USERS CAN STICK WITH OWN CADS
(Delcam, 4 November 2004)
Delcam has added the ability to
generate files in the CATIA V5 format from all major CAD file types to
its PS-Exchange on-line data translation service. It has offered the
ability to read CATIA 5 files for more than a year. Delcam launched
PS-Exchange in 1999 when it was the first on-line translation service
to use a pay-per-use voucher-based payment system. Since the
translation software is stored on the user's own computer, the system
is completely secure. Secondly, only a short authorisation code is
transferred over the web, not the complete CAD model.

[7] DATA LOGGER SAMPLES 10 READINGS PER SECOND
(Pico Technology, 10 November 2004)
Pico Technology has
introduced a USB (v1.1) version of its TC-08 eight-channel
thermocouple data logger. The new unit is claimed to sample at up to
10 readings per second (more than twice the speed of the serial port
version), features built-in cold junction compensation (CJC) and
covers the temperature range -270 degrees C to 1820 degrees C. The
TC-08 can be used with thermocouple types B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T
and outputs can be viewed in degrees C or mV.

[8] CARBON STRIP STEEL HAS CLOSEST THICKNESS TOLERANCE
(Sandvik Materials Technology UK, 9 November 2004)
Sandvik Materials Technology is claiming a first by supplying the
closest, industry specified, thickness tolerances as a standard
feature on its 20C carbon strip steel. The steel is used in the
manufacture of high performance valves, discs and shims for shock
absorbers. The tolerances, designated 'T4', specify a thickness
variation from only +/-0.003mm on 0.102mm thick strip to +/-0.005mm on
0.305mm strip - the typical range of steel strip thicknesses used in
shock absorbers. The key benefit of such close tolerance control is
that flows within the shock absorber will be more consistent,
resulting in more even and smoother automotive suspension systems said
Sandvik.

Firewire digital machine vision cameras designed for easy system
integration. The range includes two models, the CV640 (659x493) and
the CV1280 (1280x1024), and come in colour and monochrome versions.
They are a range of plug-and-play digital cameras with standardised
interfaces. High frame rates (CV640 - 120fps) make them suitable for
industrial imaging applications.
