Chris Rand, Editor, writes:
There seems to be
increasing academic interest in the process of
collective
invention, a concept which has been largely facilitated by
the
communications revolution of the past ten years. Traditionally,
technological change has been considered to be the preserve of
individual inventors, whether they're true individuals or single
corporations.
Now, however, consumers are increasingly
developing their own
products, adapting commercially-available
technology for their real
needs rather than accepting the
designer's stated purpose. The entire
patent system, which has
supposedly driven innovation for so long,
depends on the inventor
saying what the design is for. But mountain
biking, kitesurfing
and text messaging are all examples of users
creating their own
products or applications.
This isn't new: just Google "the
case of the Cornish Pumping Engine"
to see what I mean. But it's
certainly a renewed spirit, and
something which manufacturers are
failing to exploit. Consumers don't
particularly want to develop
their own products - it's just necessary
in a world where the
success of a company is often measured in how
well it controls
its market.
How many of your suppliers even run online
forums where you can give
feedback or make suggestions? Outside
the software sector, I suspect
almost none. If you can't get the
product you want, it's easy to turn
to an alternative supplier
who might have gone down that path, but
it'd have been better to
have pointed your existing supplier in that
direction some time
before. Far too many manufacturers say they
"listen to the
market" and are "customer driven" when they're nothing
of the
sort. They just mean that before committing to production,
they
ask customers for a reaction to their latest design. Big deal.
Why not allow R+D to interact with the customers from the start?
I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter useful.
In addition to the new products, news and ideas featured here,
there
are hundreds more on our website and dozens more being
added daily,
so do take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all the summaries and

In the meantime, if you have any
suggestions as to how we might make

better, email me directly.

OUR TOP NEW PRODUCT SELECTION
====================================================================
[1] COMPACT DRIVER SETS LEGS IN MOTION
(Unimatic
Engineers, 17 Jun 2005)
A small footprint driver is now
available for the innovative Piezo
Legs linear motor introduced
to UK designers and technologists last
year by Unimatic
Engineers. The PiezoMotor Driver PDA 3.1 controls
the speed of
the motor via a +/-10V analogue voltage signal and is
particularly aimed at industrial users. A piezoelectric leg can
be
made to flick back and forth, similar to walking, to create
precision
linear motion, and speeds up to tens of millimetres per
second can be
achieved because they can swing at 10,000step/s or
more. This also
allows accuracy and resolution of positioning to
2nm. The PDA 3.1 is
little bigger than a matchbox (74 x 69 x
17mm) and is
self-calibrating when it is first connected to a
motor - crucial as
many of the motors are custom designed for
their application.

different types of springs. In addition to
standard products such as
compression, die, extension, torsion
and disc springs, there are
spring selection kits and an
increased focus on custom springs,
including PowerSpring, the
high strength tension/extension spring
that offers exceptional
power and load characteristics.

[4] SMART BATTERIES ADAPT TO INDUSTRIAL USES
(Saft
Industrial Batteries, 21 Jun 2005)
Saft's new Li-ion
technology Intensium Flex system has a versatile,
modular
rackable design to provide any system voltage from 24 to 720V
for
pure standby float or high frequency cycling applications, and
discharge patterns ranging from high energy (hours or days of
discharge) to very high power demands over minutes or seconds.
Typical Intensium Flex applications will include: industrial
power
backup, such as high power UPS systems; renewable energy
systems - to
provide spinning reserve and power quality
functions; and telecomms,
especially cellular base transceiver
stations (BTS).

[5] SERVO SYSTEMS MAXIMISE APPLICATION POTENTIAL
(Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems, 17 Jun 2005)
Mitsubishi Electric has extended its Super Servo amplifiers and
motors range with the addition of new units up to 22kW. The MR-J2
Super series starts at 50W and is available in 200 and 400V
versions.
MR-J2 Super is based on Mitsubishi's highly successful
MR-J2 servo
series, and features real-time adaptive auto-tuning,
which
continuously monitors the control parameters and adjusts
them
automatically to match current conditions.

[6] LINEAR ACTUATORS STEP FORWARD
(Nippon Pulse Motor Co.,
Ltd, 23 Jun 2005)
Nippon Pulse Motor has released new PFCL
series linear actuators,
called "Linear Step". They are PM type
stepper motors that enable
linear motion without any outside
mechanical transformers. The design
of the motor uses female
threads inside the rotors of ball bearing
supports, with the male
shaft is simply threaded through. By
employing a special thread,
it offers high thread efficiency and big
thrust force.

(Heyco, 21 Jun
2005)
Heyco has added to its established range of snap-fit
bushings with
the introduction of a range of open/closed
universal bushings with
flexible shutters. These are ideal when
installing around
pre-assembled wires, cable and hose bundles,
routing and securing
them inside all kinds of electrical panels,
and also absorbing
vibration and insulating cables, tubing, hoses
or shafts where
limited internal clearance or varying size is a
challenge.

(Nikon UK, 20
Jun 2005)
Nikon has introduced the new LV Series of
industrial microscopes with
the acclaimed CFI60 optics. In
conjunction with new illuminators and
objectives, these deliver
enhanced overall optical performance and
even sharper images for
all the major illumination techniques. The
LV150 and the LV150A,

[9] IPC COVERS PLC, MOTION CONTROL AND VISUALISATION
(Hayes
Control Systems, 20 Jun 2005)
A new addition to the
embedded PC range from Beckoff offers customers
high performance
and a compact design. The CX1020, available
exclusively in the UK
from Hayes Control Systems, has a direct
connection for EtherCAT
I/O terminals. In combination with EtherCAT
as the fieldbus, it
offers response times of less than 1ms, opening
up new
application options. Boasting a 600MHz Intel Celeron M CPU,
the
CX1020 is fanless and requires no rotating media due to the use
of CompactFlash.

[10] STEEL FEET PROVIDE FIRM FOUNDATIONS
(Machine Building
Systems, 17 Jun 2005)
A new stable, strong and inexpensive
steel foot has been added to the
Item MB building kit system. The
foot is of 4mm thick steel, folded
to make it an L-section as
viewed from the side. It has two 18mm
diameter holes 200mm apart
in the base of the L in order to fix it to
the floor, the size of
the hole ensuring that the floor may be
drilled and bolts
inserted, without having to move the frame to which
the foot is
attached first.
