Motors & Drives

NORD Drivesystems expertise in drive technologies for vertical markets is well demonstrated by its wide range of gearboxes, motors, frequency inverters and servo controls that are suited to and extensively used in iron & steel production and other metal processing industries. Such applications demand peak performance for 24/7 operation in harsh and often high temperature environments combined with low maintenance, long service life and the highest levels of drive system efficiency.

At the IMTEX exhibition taking place in Bangalore, India, from 20th to 26th January 2011, Renishaw will highlight a range of process control solutions that help tackle the increasing drive to lean manufacturing, from new technologies for pre-process machine calibration, to on-line and off-line post-process measurement.

Multitest’s board division has successfully introduced a new LCR (layer count reduction) concept for high pin count BGA applications. Board customers now will benefit from significant cost savings without sacrificing performance. With the new LCR concept, the layer count of standard pitch BGA boards can be reduced by up to 40 percent.

MSR dramatically simplifies the turning table mechanical transmission system. In many cases, it is also much more economical.

Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of industrial networking and communication solutions, is pleased to announce CUE-500, a popular Industrial Power over Ethernet switch CUE-500 widely used in IP Surveillance applications.

MICROMO is pleased to announce a new 22mm innovation that extends the portfolio of the BX4 range of four pole brushless DC servomotors from FAULHABER. The series 2232 / 2250…BX4 CSD/CCD is the world’s most compact drive with an integrated motion controller. This new series combines all the advantages of the BX4 four pole brushless technology with a single axis motion controller. High reliability, high torque, compact slotless design with no cogging torque, and robust construction without the use of adhesives make this new series ideal for complex applications such as robotics, automation, medical and laboratory technology, specialty machinery and aerospace.
