Technology for uncharted worlds

We know more about the surface of the moon than the depths of the ocean. That’s no surprise given the conditions there and yet an increasing number of ever more sophisticated vehicles are making their way down to the seabed. ‘driven’, the Maxon Motor magazine, goes on a dive and brings back surprising facts and stories.

Comparing open and closed loop steppers

Comparing open and closed loop steppers

Applied Motion Products Inc. (AMP), represented by Mclennan, has released a new white paper on its innovative StepSERVO closed-loop stepper technology that is available in a wide range of competitively priced integrated motors that combine microstepping motors and drives with a feedback encoders and motion controllers and optional fieldbus communications. The 12-page resource, available as a download from Mclennan’s website compares the technology with open loop stepper systems and demonstrates its capability for higher acceleration, faster machine cycles and greater productivity as well improved energy efficiency and quieter operation

Compact all-in-one drive from Dunkermotoren

Compact all-in-one drive from Dunkermotoren

Among the challenges facing machine builders is often ‘make it smaller, lighter, but with the same or improved performance’. In response to this, Dunkermotoren has developed a brushless DC motor that incorporates not only the power supply, but also the control and positioning electronics, PLC functions and BUS links along with various encoder and brake options.
