(TOKYO:9962) announces that it will highlight a live booth demonstration of its new Single Axis Robot RS Series Actuators at Booth #4411 at ATX West in Anaheim, February 9th to 11th. Introduced in late 2009, Misumi's Single Axis Robot RS Series Actuators are designed for use in a broad range of automated machinery and devices requiring extremely precise motion control. The robotic actuators can be used to perform part assembly, pick-and-place, stacking, inserting, inspection, alignment and testing, and other functions. The actuators, which are available in six small sizes (RS) and six large sizes (RSH), as well as in Clean Room Class 10 versions, are CE compliant. The small units are driven by stepper motors, the large units by AC servo motors. ...More >>RE 50 - An extremely high density 200 W power pack  Unprecedented with respect to robustness and durability as well as its power rating ratio. Maxon’s RE 50's "heart" is, as with all mechanically commutated maxon motor drives, the ironless rotor, which results in detent-free running and minimized mass inertia. The combination of a two-pole Neodymium permanent magnet with the patented maxon winding technology results in high torque and remarkable acceleration. The drive measures Ø50 x 108 mm and is available with four different windings. It reaches a nominal torque of up to 0.38 Nm, a nominal speed of 2800 to 5700 rpm and an efficiency of more than 90%. Low nominal voltage (24.70 VDC) and high power density make the RE 50 an excellent choice for the use in battery-powered applications, such as electric vehicles, transport and logistics equipment, mobile systems, robots, etc. ...More >>Bison Gear Celebrates 50 Years of Excellence St. Charles, IL - Today, over 200 employees of Bison Gear & Engineering Corp. gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the St. Charles, Illinois headquartered gearmotor manufacturer. Bison was established in 1960 by three Chicago area entrepreneurs who derived the company's name from their last initials of B-S-N. The company began as a producer of gears and today manufactures gearmotors, electric motors and gear reducers for hundreds of customers ranging from successful entrepreneurial OEMs to many multinational industrial and commercial equipment OEMs. As one example of its success, Bison gearmotors are used in a wide variety of foodservice equipment found in virtually every fast food establishment throughout the world. ...More >> High misalignment, low inertia servo couplings  The trend in industry to process more material, faster and more efficiently calls for a high torque, high misalignment, low inertia servo coupling, with minimal compromise to torsional stiffness. Stainless steel bellows couplings have the highest torsional stiffness of commercially available flexible couplings, making them the best choice for aggressive servo driven applications. But in cases where the two shafts to be connected are mounted to different bearing surfaces, it can be difficult to maintain the precise alignment tolerances normally required.

It combines a high-precision magnetic rotary encoder with a robust draw-wire mechanism to provide a measurement range of up to 2 m at a resolution of 35 µm (1.3x10-3 inch). The device is built around a multi-turn absolute magnetic encoder that uses a Hall-effect sensor to measure angular displacements. There are no internal electrical contacts, which means that there is none of the wear that often de-grades the accuracy of devices based on multi-turn potentiometers. Tests con-ducted by the manufacturer have shown negligible loss of accuracy after over more than one million draw/rewind cycles. ...More >>Test System Ensures that SERCOS III Slave Implementations from Different Manufacturers are Interoperable Santa Rosa Beach, FL - The SERCOS III Slave Conformizer is a new, powerful test tool for slave devices on the SERCOS III Ethernet-based automation bus. It ensures that SERCOS III slave implementations from different manufacturers are compatible and interoperable. The certification test software is available to manufacturers who wish to pre-test SERCOS III slave devices in their facilities prior to the formal testing at the SERCOS test lab.
