Linear Encoders & Components

Aerotech's Planar_DLA integrated, open-frame stages have high dynamics and exceptional geometric performance in a low-profile package.

The Ensemble QDe from Aerotech Inc. is a high-performance desktop nanopositioning piezo drive designed for seamless use with the Ensemble family of drives and controllers.

Sodick Inc. is releasing the new AQ1200L Linear Motor Driven Wire EDM. The AQ1200L is Sodick's largest Wire EDM and features our linear motor system.

Sodick Inc. is releasing the AD30L linear motor driven Sinker EDM.

With the high demands of today's market for the latest innovative technology, Sodick Inc. is continuously working on R&D for new machines that are faster, more accurate and achieve a finer surface finish. The most recent line of machines to be included in Sodick's product range is the SL-G Wire EDM Machine range.

DMG/Mori Seiki USA's X-Class machine has a thick, high-rigidity bed with X- and Z-axis linear guides in a high position, and a spindle with large-diameter bearing.

With the DMC 60 H linear, DMG/Mori Seiki are starting an impressive performance offensive in the area of fast precision centers for productive serial production up to the 5-axis simultaneous area.

The new 5-axis DMC 60 H linear horizontal machining center from DMG/Mori Seiki USA Inc., Hoffman Estates, Ill., (www.dmgmoriseikiusa.com) is for production runs.

Feed units in machine tools, assembly lines and handling applications often require fast deep plunges into large workspaces. Combined with the increasingly fast cycle times of production machines, this places especially high demands on the axis mechanics in automated processes. Rexroth's new linear motion system, the "Omega Module," addresses this need by featuring a very low traveling mass so that top speeds can be reached.

Bosch Rexroth is offering educational resource kits to help machine builders, systems integrators and manufacturing end-users address engineering challenges in factory automation, linear motion and mobile engineering.
