 With the directly driven, particularly flat linear axes of the series MLD-FU, SCHUNK has put an axis on the market that is suitable mainly for applications with high demands on the dynamics with small to medium loads. A three-phase, electronically commuted AC synchronous linear motor is used as the drive. The energized primary part is integrated in the slide; the secondary part with its high-quality permanent magnets in the base body. The direct drive allows a substantial reduction of moving masses and thus also allows the modules to be made extremely slim data acquisition and output with networking capability. |

 Hartland Wis.- Designed for light- to medium-duty applications, the 2200 Series now comes with a new feature to better accommodate cooling and draining applications — a perforated bedplate. The 2200 Series with perforated bedplate option is ideal for applications where the product needs to be cooled. Pre-manufactured holes in the bedplate allow air to naturally flow through the frame and bedplate of the conveyor, cooling passing product. The conveyor can also be hooked up to a vacuum to supply additional air through the bedplate. |

 As the industry leader in true PC based robot controls, EPSON's RC520 and RC420 controllers are powerful, flexible and easy to use. However, after reviewing with their customers what they would like next they replied that they would like less. EPSON controllers are great for high performance and high end applications but what about simple pick and place type applications where a simple controller at a reduced price would be a much better fit. As a result of those discussions, the Micro PowerDrive Controller was created. The primary design goals were to keep as much performance as possible while at the same time significantly reducing the cost. |
