Servo Solution: 2 Tray-to-Track Cables That Save Time and Money

Servo Solution: 2 Tray-to-Track Cables That Save Time and Money

Manufacturers who require accurate position, velocity, and torque control are increasingly using servo motors in their fast-paced automated environments. Servo systems require fast and reliable power, data, and feedback signal.  However, harsh industrial settings create persistent challenges to connecting motors to drives, which are often some distance apart.

IDEC: Drive and Controller

IDEC: Drive and Controller

The IANG1 Integrated Stepper Controller + Drive product is a ground-breaking approach to PLC-based motion control systems. Traditional motion controllers are difficult to integrate with PLC-based automation systems. There are so many manufacturers, so many different choices, and each solution contains proprietary features that complicate installation, programming and compatibility.

 

 

 

POSITAL: Wiegand Sensors – Proximity Sensing with Extra Powers

POSITAL: Wiegand Sensors – Proximity Sensing with Extra Powers

Wiegand sensors – tiny devices that use variations in an external magnetic field to generate electrical signals and energy – have unique properties that make them a useful option for proximity sensing systems. Wiegand sensors are built around small sections of Wiegand wire, a specially prepared ferromagnetic alloy that has a unique physical property.
