As the world enters a new era of smart manufacturing, industry demand for precision motion control systems is increasing to unprecedented levels. Based in Taiwan, Chieftek Precision Co., Ltd. (CPC) is a global manufacturer of precision motion control products such as linear guide rails and direct-drive (DD) motion stages.
The BML absolute magnetic encoder in the SGA series stands out in any application where high absolute accuracy of position and end-of-travel is required. Comprehensive diagnostics functions ensure reliable operation and more efficient maintenance. With its Drive-Cliq interface the Balluff measuring system can also be perfectly integrated into Siemens controller environments. Siemens has certified the system accordingly.
The EGL-C long-stroke gripper is a milestone in human-robot collaboration. Due to integrated intelligence, collaborative applications at gripping forces of up to 450 N can be implemented.
HepcoMotion is committed to providing customers with an unrivalled choice of products, sizes and options to cater for virtually any linear motion requirement. In testament to this, HepcoMotion is adding to its flagship GV3 range with the introduction of a number of new components that offer real benefits to design engineers. Two of these new components, the new side access adjustment carriage feature, and twin taper roller bearings, are likely to be particularly well received by engineers looking to reduce maintenance time and extend service life.
SICK has unveiled its SIG200 PROFINET Sensor Integration Gateway, the first in a family of intelligent Industry 4.0 gateways designed to work as both IO-Link Masters and small, distributed control systems in one.
