LG Motion product story

Visitors to Drives and Controls 2006 from 16th to 18th May will see the launch of a breakthrough hybrid technology for stepper motor drives along with positioning systems and precision tables.
LG Motion's inaugural UK exhibition following its launch last year is set to show its range and diversity of motion control and positioning systems.
Visitors to stand D37 at Drives and Controls 2006 from 16th to 18th May at Birmingham's NEC will see the launch of a breakthrough hybrid technology for stepper motor drives from Agile Systems along with positioning systems from the Unislide and Bislide ranges as well as LG Motion's own range of LG series precision tables.
Details of an agreement with Schneeberger for a rapid turnaround cutting service for linear motion guide bearings systems will also be announced.
The Silentstep stepper motor drive from Canadian designer and manufacturer Agile Systems brings servo motor performance to conventional stepper motor systems.
A technique derives position feedback from back-EMF and phase current sampling without encoder feedback and eliminates motor stalling, reduces audible noise and increases motor speed.
LG Motion will demonstrate how the drive technology can be applied to new and existing position control applications improving performance while maintaining the simplicity of a conventional stepper motor drive system.
Other products on display from Agile will include the DPDLite sensorless motor commutation system for brushless DC motors and the uMaxB series, Firewire networked, DSP based single-axis motion controller with integrated servo amplifier.
Aimed at medium precision positioning applications and available with manual and motorised versions, the Unislide is a simple, strong and durable design based on a rigid dovetail bearing system in a lightweight aluminium construction.
The Bislide is aimed at heavier duty motorised applications and based on an extruded I-beam aluminium profile with dual 45-degree opposing guideways that provide rigidity regardless of the load direction.
Both ranges are available in single and multi-axis configurations with various options and accessories.
LG Motion designs and makes its own range of linear and rotary positioning tables for high precision applications and a selection from the forthcoming catalogue will be on display at the show.
The firm will also show a selection of products from Schneeberger Linear Technology, the Swiss manufacturer of linear cross roller bearings and slides and Monorail profiled linear guideways.
While LG Motion has been building Schneeberger's linear bearings into its custom engineered positioning systems for some time, the agreement will allow a stocking and a rapid turnaround cutting service for linear guideways where customers can order custom lengths and be assured of delivery within two working days.
