For high precision motion control of machine tools and other production machinery, design engineers and end users increasingly require ready-to-fit, complete linear motion systems with integrated features such as sealing, lubrication, measuring and braking.
A new machine control card from INMOCO combines up to four amplifiers and a complete positioning motion controller on a single printed circuit board.
While conventional track technology limits track paths to simple combinations of straights and circular curves, '1-Trak' allows any 2D shape to be realised.
Festo has introduced a semi rotary drive with twin pistons that offers high precision, stiffness and high load bearing capacity.
The recently announced AB series industrial grade servo motors from Pittman are now available in the UK from Mclennan Servo Supplies.
