Nematron Corporation announces the launch of the new Fanless iPC-Series of Industrial Computers, now with the Intel® Dual Core™ ATOM N2800 processor. In many of today’s industrial applications and industries, especially those that utilize an industrial computer within an enclosure, overheating of the PC is a major concern. Where continuous processes or automation are concerned, the downtime caused by the overheating and eventual loss of a PC can be costly. The need for fanless processing...
Lower Cost Voice Coil Positioning Stage
August 7th, 2013
The engineers at H2W have developed a new lower cost voice coil positioning stage that incorporates dual mounting options. H2W reduced cost by using a lower resolution encoder and simplified design. This system includes optional air cooling that would allow the stage to achieve higher continuous forces. The stage has standard mounting holes that allow it to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. In the vertical orientation, the lighter weight coil assembly is the moving component. ...

Automated Maintenance Stockroom Increases Manufacturing Up Time
July 23rd, 2013
Increased productivity on the manufacturing floor coupled with the large investment required in production line automation has made the maintenance stockroom a critical part of the manufacturing process. Implementing dynamic storage systems from Kardex Remstar in the maintenance and repair stockroom can improve manufacturing uptime.
As manufacturers are using more and more automation to increase manufacturing productivity, having the parts in stock to service and maintain the...
July 17th, 2013
The SD-03-48-125 is a cost effective, high performance, bi-polar, two phase micro-stepping drive which utilizes the pure-sinusoidal current control technique. It is best suited for applications which require extreme low noise and heat. It operates well in an environment where input voltage may experience instability and fluctuation.
The general pseudo-sinusoidal current control technology used by most stepper drives produces a distorted sine wave and current ripple, resulting in...

Slotting Parts For Improved Performance
July 1st, 2013
Just as what goes up must come down… in distribution “what goes in must come out”. The process of receiving a part into inventory is just as important as picking or removing the part from inventory. A little extra thought on the receiving end leads to benefits on the picking end. A solid slotting plan to receive and store parts in a facility can lead to quicker and more accurate picking distribution.
Slotting is the concept of using data analysis to create a logical process to...
Four Axis Vacuum Compatible Gantry
June 27th, 2013
H2W introduces a fully vacuum compatible four axis positioning gantry (XYθZ). The XY axes are driven by brushless linear motor DR Positioning Stages. The θ axis is a worm gear stage that is driven by a rotary stepper motor under closed loop control in conjunction with an arc-segmented linear encoder. The Z axis linear motion is achieved by using a voice coil positioning stage operating under closed loop position control. The four axes operate under synchronized position control in conjunction...
