Accurate multiaxis linear actuator system saves OEMs time in installation

Accurate multiaxis linear actuator system saves OEMs time in installation

Linear motion control specialist, Tolomatic, has released a new multiaxis actuator system, providing rigidity and accuracy for OEM machine designs. Available from Inmoco, the two- or three-axis Twin Rail Stage (TRS) is an enclosed design, profiled rail actuator system, saving assembly time for OEMs that require multiaxis linear motion. TRS enables precise control with a choice of roller nut or ball nut. Tolomatic says the actuator includes features that provide long service life.

IFM measures air gaps with micro-metre precision

IFM measures air gaps with micro-metre precision

When a workpiece must be positioned accurately to within a fraction of a millimetre, or when it’s necessary to measure the surface roughness of an item, the new SDP110 air-gap sensor from IFM Electronic provides an effective and easily implemented solution. This novel sensor, which uses air flowing through a nozzle to measure the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece, has a resolution of 5µm, which is just one-tenth of the thickness of a typical human hair. Maximum measuring range is 400 µm.
