Encoder range covers all requirements
One of the main benefits of the new MEH series of hollow shaft encoders from Encoder Technology is its exceptional breadth making it a product suitable for all levels of sophistication.
High performance stepper motors now cost less
Tamagawa has introduced a range of stepper motors which compare favourably with other high performance models but at much lower cost.
Reliable and rugged, the 3540 series is capable of microstepping resolutions of up to 50,800 steps/rev at speeds of 3000rpm.
The outstanding feature of the Si3540 unit is Applied Motion's "Simple Indexer Technology" This has a Windows graphical user interface for stand alone applications.
No programming to learn, no code to write.
All you do is Point-Click-Move.
The Si interface does the programming, you only need to input the 'move' parameters.
The unit is programmable via a RS 232 port from your computer.
There are a total of 20 different instructions including I/O, branches, loops and motion commands.
These can be combined to allow the most complex of applications to be realised.
You can write programmes without the drive being connected and also emulate the optional man machine interface.
Once programmed the positioning drive can run as a stand alone unit.
For multi axis applications up to 8 SITM drives can be connected to one PC serial port using our SiNet Hub-8.
This opens up a lot of possibilities for the designer to create cost effective automated machinery.
Potential customers can 'try before they buy' as Encoder Technology are offering 'free' copies of the programming software. Request a free brochure from Encoder Technology ...
