Heason Technology Ltd

Heason Technology demonstrates its capability for mechatronic design and build with an EtherCAT controlled 6-axis hexapod (parallel robot) demonstration rig that comprises mechanical, electronic and software components from several of its distribution partners. The rig actually uses two hexapods – a large servo-electric actuator driven unit that can run pre-programmed motion sequences or can be configured to mirror the movement of a smaller, manually controlled, ‘joystick’ with six linear position sensors. The motorised hexapod’s top plate is thus positioned to a full six degrees of freedom to move the load (three 20-inch TFT video monitors) in translation (x, y, z) and rotation (pitch, yaw, roll). For even more visual effect, the rig has an electric ducted fan and a Bernoulli-effect blower that supports a ball throughout the movement of the hexapod.

The recently launched Megaflux MFH170i series brushless torque motors from Allied Motion Inc. are available from motion control systems integrator Heason Technology. The compact direct-drive solution for high-torque applications in robotics, scanning, tracking and other high precision motion systems comprises a powerful servo motor with an integrated digital servo drive and a high resolution optical encoder as a completely integrated package.

The recently announced new-generation TwinSpin G-series high-precision reduction gear unit from Spinea s.r.o. is available in the UK from Heason Technology. As the result of several years’ application experience and advances in manufacturing processes, the new gear reducer - with its integrated heavy-duty bearing system - offers significantly higher torque-to-weight ratio and greater tilting rigidity in addition to many other specification enhancements that will bring automation designers benefits such as smaller machine volumes, increased product quality, improved manufacturing precision and higher production throughput. 

Heason Technology are set to showcase the best of breed motion solutions at this year's Engineering Design Show, starting tomorrow, at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

A comprehensive range of motion control components from world-class distribution partners and exceptional in-house motion system design and integration expertise is Heason Technology’s order of the day for this year’s Engineering Design Show 22nd - 23rd October 2014 Stand D50.

As a Gold-Partner for Kollmorgen, Heason Technology offers the global motion control specialists high-performance servo drive systems with an innovative single cable option that combines motor power and feedback connection.

Now available from Heason Technology, Kollmorgen’s new VLM servomotor series to fill the gap between stepper and high-performance servo motors. The new VLM series synchronous servo motors offer OEMs, machine builders and end-users, an excellent price-performance proposition in the torque range of 0.5 to 4.5 Nm continuous and 16 Nm peak, with speeds of up to 6000 rpm.

Further extending its motion components and systems capability, HeasonTechnology has added a new range of precision slip ring assemblies and rotary joints to its extensive product portfolio. The range includes complete assemblies for rotary-to-stationary transmission of electrical signals, video signals, field buses etc. and power up to 50A and beyond.

In many cases the BASIC AKD servo drives allow machine builders to forego the need for an external PLC with its associated wiring and interface programming. This allows them to save time, minimize space and reduce installation costs. In combination with the simple programming, using structured text and an integrated program editor with diagnostic functions, small applications can be realized very easily and quickly.

Heason Technology’s distribution partner status with Kollmorgen Europe has been elevated to the top ‘Gold-Partner’ level following a record year in 2012. The Gold-Partner status - the first to be awarded outside Germany or Switzerland - consolidates the UK-wide preferred partner agreement between the two companies.

Heason Technology has completed the integration of a vertical positioning system for a CT scanner used for geological studies at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. The CT scanner is the centrepiece of the new Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre - a $70 million, 10 year programme in conjunction with sponsors Qatar Petroleum, Shell and the Qatar Science and Technology Park to improve the understanding and development of the storage of CO2 in carbonate reservoirs to help mitigate climate change.

High power density Gold servo drive for Stepper Motors – delivers up to 1.2 kW of continuous power in a compact package. The Gold DC Bell is a high power density servo drive that provides top servo performance, advanced networking and built-in safety.

Heason Technology expand product portfolio to include range of standard and application specific custom slip rings. Slip Rings can be used in any system requiring the transmission of electrical and/or power signals to an intermittently or continuous rotating shaft.

Introduced as a completely new category for Kollmorgen's range of direct drive torque motors, the CARTRIDGE DDR motor is now fully available from Heason Technology. The innovative and very compact design includes a hollow shaft rotor, a stator and high resolution feedback device, all pre-aligned in a bearing-less assembly and enclosed in a durable housing complete with power and feedback connectors.

Heason Technology's has launched the new AirGlide Ultra Precise Air Bearing System. With positional accuracy to within 3 microns for the standard version and better than 1 micron for the interferometer calibrated version, the AirGlide has a bidirectional repeatability of +/- 0.3 microns over a travel range of up to 1000 mm.

Heason Technology has designed and manufactured a range of application customised and completely non-magnetic four axis precision “slit” packages for use on the LARMOR instrument at the STFC's ISIS neutron and muon beamline facility in Oxfordshire. LARMOR is presently under construction and due for completion in 2014.

Heason Technology has released a new range of economically priced stepper motor driven miniature positioning stages for low-cost applications in laboratory and research as well as automated alignment for production and test. The comprehensive and modular range, from Heason Technology's distribution partner GMT Global, suits medium precision use and includes linear, rotary, goniometer, and vertical elevation stages together with DSP controlled high performance microstepping drives.

Complementing and completing Nanomotion's range of ceramic motor driven miniature positioning stages, the new FBG series goniometer is available in four stack sizes that combine to provide a common pivoting point for a two-axis tip/tilt angular motion set-up with a positioning resolution as low as 1 arc second. Available from Heason Technology, the low profile stages provide pivot axis radii of 71, 96, 102 and 137 mm.

Heason Technology has launched a new 15 mm diameter miniature precision rotary servo motor from Nanomotion as a direct-drive solution that features the unique operating characteristics of the ceramic motor specialists technology - providing inherent braking and the ability to eliminate servo dither when in a static position – even under power-off conditions.

Heason Technology's new H series linear actuators are aimed at OEM positioning applications in automated manufacturing and test equipment where competitive cost vs. performance and maximum flexibility is required.
