Ball screw line offers very high traverse speeds
Thomson IBL Company announces a new Rotating Nut Ball Screw Line that can increase traverse speeds up to 200 metres per minute
Clevis-to-Clevis Actuators launched
Thomson Saginaw announces the availability of new AC, DC and miniature Clevis-to-Clevis Performance Pak Actuators (CPPA).
This development stems from Danaher Motion's support of open technology.
Servostar drives can already support Profibus DP, Sercos, DeviceNet or Ethernet using similar option cards and onboard CANopen is already provided.
Option cards such as motion controllers and I/O expansion are designed to suit every application.
Simple resolvers through to absolute sincos-encoders can be used to provide feedback, standard interfaces such as ABZ are supported in addition to EnDat.
The latest development is the BiSS-Interface, available as standard in the Servostar 300.
This fully digital, bidirectional and nonproprietary feedback interface supports high speed data communication with short cycle times.
It is robust, and immune to interference, supporting high precision encoders with inexpensive four-wire cables.
SynqNet expansion cards allow the drives to co-ordinate complex multi-axis control, creating a system ideal for pick-and-place, medical and ATE (automated test equipment) applications.
Danaher Motion is able to specify and supply complete motion systems, with synchronous servomotors, drives and important accessories such as prefabricated cables, gearboxes and power supplies available from a single source.
