INMOCO Limited

  Designed for incorporation into weld guns and pedestal welders, INMOCO is introducing a high-precision roller screw actuator to the UK. It will provide a service life of 30 million or more welding cycles.

Engineers are making greater use of electronic motion control technologies as packaging machine designs call for ever greater levels of performance and flexibility, especially combined with the ability for faster changeovers from one product run to the next. Gerard Bush of INMOCO (Intelligent Motion Control) looks at the opportunities and the challenges.

Available through INMOCO in the UK, Diakont DA series actuators have been designed for easy installation and maintenance. With a compact design, it means they are suited for space-restricted applications, while the integral servo motor makes installation a single step process.

Efficiency and cost effectiveness is a key challenge when designing a compact blood analyser that can support multiple axes and multiple motor types while maintaining a table top format. Advanced motion cards and digital drives from PMD provide a solution and are available in the UK through INMOCO of Daventry.

Introducing the DA99 linear roller screw actuators from Diakont, Inmoco aim to transfer proven technology from the nuclear industry to meet other highly demanding applications. Leveraging Diakont’s roller screw designs that are utilised by nuclear power plants worldwide, the DA99 actuators deliver increased load capacity in a more compact package, and combine this with greater reliability and longer operational lifetimes compared to other designs.

  Electromechanical linear actuators from the DA Series are available in the UK through INMOCO, and are designed around an integrated motor and roller screw, a compact configuration that provides excellent performance.

Inmoco has announced an optional 'user-defined profile mode' feature on Magellan Motion Control ICs (integrated circuits or silicon chips), which provides the capability for multi-axis synchronized continuous path profile generation on the chip.

The Kollmorgen AKMH range of stainless steel servo motors has been enhanced with a host of new feedback device options and new connector options.

Motion control engineers at Inmoco have announced a recent feedback addition to its Kollmorgen AKM range of high performance motors, which provides a high integrity option for safety critical applications. AKM servomotors are designed for easy integration into any given application and paired outstanding torque density and precision with affordability and the fast delivery of a standard solution.

New high-performance motion control ICs, suitable for applications such as medical equipment, scientific instruments, industrial automation and robotics are now available from INMOCO of Daventry

INMOCO has added the MicroE Veratus Series to its range of rotary and linear encoders.

If you’re looking for high-performance control of DC brushed, brushless and stepper motors across multiple axes, the typical enclosed DIN-rail mounting box might be your first thought. But INMOCO’s Gerard Bush argues that in many general purpose automation applications, as well as in areas such as life sciences equipment, scientific automation and robotics, PCB motion cards, amplifiers and motion/amplifiers might well provide a better option.

Automation is essential if UK manufacturing is to compete against the low-wage economies of the developing world and linear positioning is often a fundamental part of automation. Here, Gerard Bush of servo specialist INMOCO explains the design basics for linear motion systems.

Servomotors are high-performance devices and represent all that is best in motor technology. Many engineers will feel a natural inclination to specify, top-of-the-range servos, every time, but clearly performance comes at a price. Gerard Bush of motion control specialist INMOCO offers some thoughts on how to select the optimum servomotor for a given application and how the technology will develop in future.

Newly available from INMOCO is an updated version of the Kollmorgen AKM food grade servomotor, which combines a high-performance gear-motor and efficiency-optimised angular gearbox in a compact wash-down package.

INMOCO is now offering an updated version of the Kollmorgen AKM food grade servomotor, which combines a high-performance gear-motor and efficiency-optimised angular gearbox in a compact wash-down package. This advanced level of integration allows the AKM to be used in most machine-drive and precision-positioning applications in the food and beverage industries.

Reducing the amount of cabling required within a servo motion system, the SFD3 digital resolver has been launched by Kollmorgen. Supplied as highly scalable motion control packages, the resolver can be used to both replace older more complicated solutions and as the first choice for new systems.

Inmoco of Daventry has released CTCopc 2, a 32-bit Windows OPC server application that provides real-time client access to automation controllers. CTCopc 2 was developed by Control Technology Corporation in Massachusetts as a way to help manufacturers easily build or reconfigure automated production systems.

A new range of compact single-axis motion amplifiers available from INMOCO can be used with brushed and brushless DC motors and also with stepper motors. The new Atlas Digital amplifiers from INMOCO are made by Performance Motion Devices of Massachusetts and designed for ease of use, offering high performance control of velocity and position in an ultra compact package. They are solderable modules and utilize standard through-hole pins for all connections.
