Chris Rand, Editor, writes:
I've been writing about
CAD software since the days when everything
came on a
five-and-a-quarter-inch floppy. I remember a press
conference in
a pub introducing AutoCAD Release 9, the successor to
2.6, at a
point when that product had begun to dominate the booming
PC-based CAD market. And if you were there, you'd never forget
the
chaos which followed UK developer PAFEC's decision to respond
by
giving its own PC-DOGS product away for free.
This
was an age where 30Mb hard drives had just begun to appear on
PCs, but the DOS operating system couldn't cope with more than
20Mb,
so you had to format the drive into two partitions. Nice.
CAD was not
only the most interesting subject for us engineering
journalists to
write about, it was everything. The CAD companies
took over the UK's
design engineering exhibition (DES), pushing
the component
manufacturers to the periphery, and when these same
software
companies wound down their marketing in the 90s, the
show never
recovered.
However primitive those early
programs were, however, I still doubt
that today's solid
modelling applications would have surprised us
back then.
Stunning as some of them are, I suspect they're exactly
what we'd
have expected to see, 15 to 20 years on. I'm sure there are
some
old articles I can dig out where some of us had a go at
predicting what CAD systems in 2000 or 2010 would be like, and
I'm
sure they won't be far off the mark - except I'm sure they'd
have
predicted a stereolithography machine on every desktop by
now. Sadly,
whilst the technology's here, the market isn't.
But I have to say I'd be a bit stumped to predict what the CAD
system
of 2020 or 2030 will be like. Where else is there to go?
3D
holograms, I guess. Intelligent virtual designers which
require just
some parameters to come up with optimal or
alternative designs? I'll
have to organise a pub conference with
some readers and discuss it
sometime.
I hope you find
this issue of our weekly newsletter useful.
In addition to
the new products, news and ideas featured here, there

hundreds more on our website and dozens more being added daily,

OUR TOP NEW PRODUCT SELECTION
====================================================================
[1] POWER CONTROLLER IS A SMOOTH PERFORMER
(REO (UK),
13 Jul 2005)
A new power controller from REO, called the
Reotron, operates on the
phase-angle principle but, unlike
traditional systems, it reduces
harmonics (power factor) and
provides a smoother process. The unit
can be used for voltage,
current or power regulation. The Reotron
produces two output
voltages simultaneously: one is adjusted by
firing the thyristors
at a variable phase-angle, while the other is
permanently on full
conduction but at a lower voltage level. This
avoids abrupt
switch-on of current at the firing-angle. The two
outputs are
combined by interposing a transformer, with two primary
windings,
between the controller and load.

[2] ENERGY CHAIN SUITS SMALLER APPLICATIONS
(Igus (UK), 11
Jul 2005)
Igus UK has unveiled the System E3 "energy chain"
(cable carrier),
which combines the short pitch design of the
Igus System E6 (which
provides a smooth, quiet operation and low
vibration levels, even at
high speeds) with the advantegs of Igus
zipper-style chains, where
the link closes on the outer radius
for fast, easy cable access and
installation. System E3 is also
very lightweight and compact. It is
designed for smaller e-chain
applications, such as drawer slides,
enclosures, pick and place
robots and in industries including the
printing, clean room,
medical and semiconductor sectors.

[3] NO-MAINTENANCE VALVE HAS ONLY ONE MOVING PART
(Asco
Joucomatic, 14 Jul 2005)
Asco Scientific's new flat spring
solenoid valve offers an operating
life of 1 billion cycles when
used with neutral gases. Designed to
meet the needs of the
medical/analytical and industrial sectors, the
new valve combines
energy saving operation (0.6W) with response times
of less than
10ms for faster analysis, and guaranteed protection
against fluid
contamination.

[4] INSTRUMENT HANDLES UP TO SIX TEMPERATURE PROBES
(Testo,
14 Jul 2005)
The Testo 735 is a versatile multichannel
temperature measuring
instrument offering a host of features,
including the capability to
register and display up to six
temperature probes: three wireless
probes, two fast thermocouple
probes (Type K/T) and one high
precision Pt100 probe. It has a
broad measuring range, from -200 to
+1350C (depending on the
probe used).

[5] STEPPER DRIVES SLIM TO FIT BUS TERMINAL SYSTEM
(Hayes
Control Systems, 11 Jul 2005)
Two new stepping motor drives
from Beckhoff (available in the UK from
Hayes Control Systems)
are just 12 or 24mm wide! The new drives clip
directly into the
Beckhoff bus terminal system, a compact and simple
I/O system
whereby components can be incorporated as electronic
terminal
blocks. The KL2531 and KL2541 stepper terminal block drives
control motors up to 200W and are a cost-effective alternative to
traditional drives.

[6] FASTER PROCESSOR UPGRADES SERVO CONTROLLER
(MotionLink,
11 Jul 2005)
The Accelera Series of motion controllers
features a powerful
RISC-based clock-multiplying processor with
DSP functions, and the
new series delivers much higher speed
performance and processing
power than previous generations. Some
of the stand out features of
the specification are encoder inputs
up to 22MHz, output stepper
pulses up to 6MHz, servo update rates
as low as 24us per axis and
command execution speeds as low as
40us.

[7] SWITCHES HAVE DOOR-SAFETY APPLICATIONS COVERED
(Omron
Electronics, 13 Jul 2005)
Omron has introduced a range of
practical universal switches for the
safeguarding and
interlocking of machinery doors. The new D4N series
offers a
choice of over 1500 configurations that cover the safety
switch
requirements for at least 95% of the market. Some of the
switches
offer unique features. Make-before-break contacts in the
D4N,
D4NS, D4NH and D4NR switches, for example, provide enough time
for vital process information to be saved before the system is
shut
down.

[8] RIVETS DON PROTECTIVE AND DECORATIVE COATS
(Henrob
Direct, 13 Jul 2005)
Standard coatings are used in the
majority of applications to protect
steel self-pierce rivets when
applied to steel, aluminium or other
products; some are specified
for corrosion protection but others may
be for decorative
purposes. Now coatings that are compatible with an
increasing
number of applications and environmental conditions are
being
researched in Henrob's laboratories, including those free of
hexavalent chrome (chromium 6) as specified in the End of Vehicle
Life Directive - 2006. Worth a look.

[10] COLOURFUL OPTIONS GET IN THE GROOVE
(Machine Building
Systems, 14 Jul 2005)
New to the Item Line-8 extrusion
system are a range of coloured
plastic cover profiles to fill
unwanted 8mm grooves. The colours are
blue, yellow, green, red
and grey in addition to the existing black
and natural plastic
cover profiles. Users can exploit these colours
either
decoratively on the external faces of their machine to
complement
panel colours, or they may use them functionally, for
example to
cover wires running in the groove in say red, perhaps air
pipes
in blue, with possibly safety circuits or the surrounding of
guarding in yellow etc.
