EXAIR’s new Gen4 two outlet selectable voltage power supply allows you to choose input voltages of 115VAC or 230VAC. Two 5kV stainless steel output connectors can energize two static eliminators.

Machine feet, articulated feet, leveling feet, corrosion resistant stainless steel and elegant forms: The range of leveling feet available in the JW Winco portfolio is extensive. And it continues to grow because the requirements only appear simple until you take a deeper look.

Single Phase Power Solutions introduces the 50-hp 1-to-3 Microgrid Power Source featuring a patented BELLE motor with Written-Pole technology to deliver three-phase power from single-phase utility service. The 50-hp 1-to-3 can be used to operate a 25-hp motor three-phase motor, and multiple other motors up the remaining 25 hp of capacity.

The A-351 gantry motion system is related to the A-341 hybrid air bearing gantry. Driven by linear motors and guided by precision mechanical linear bearings, the system provides high speed and accuracy, at a lower price compared to its air bearings-based brother. Advanced absolute linear encoders increase accuracy and reduce start-up time by rendering homing procedures unnecessary.

A new standard line of rigid shaft couplings offered with a choice of popular design templates to let users reduce the cost and delivery time of small quantity custom orders has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Dialight launched its new SafeSite Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) linear form factor for the APAC and EMEA markets. This LED fitting includes IECEx/ATEX Zone 2, 21 and 22 certification for hazardous applications, including upstream and downstream oil and gas, petrochemical, mining and heavy manufacturing applications.

In addition to their popular air bearing planar XY stages, a series of integrated XY stages with mechanical bearings is offered by global leader in precision motion systems, PI (Physik Instrumente). These integrated XY stages, engineered for higher loads, are available with 3-phase linear direct-drive motors for higher speed and ballscrews for higher push/pull forces, respectively.

ETEL, a direct drive motor manufacturer of the Heidenhain Group, now offers updated ironless linear motors optimized for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Called the IL+ product lines, these motors are offered in the same profile as ETEL’s previously established ironless linear motors but now specially re-designed to allow for increased performance to benefit these two industries.

Featuring high-speed performance and load capacities that exceed existing full ball standards, THK’s new Type BSM ballscrew is suitable for use in machine tools. The Type BSM utilizes a newly developed circulation structure and a large lead to meet high-speed performance demands.

Spontaneous errors in the manufacturing process can be a thing of the past thanks to the new EventCam from SICK. This industrial-grade 2D camera brings clarity when unexplained gripping, handling and positioning problems arise or when unreproducible installation errors or machine downtimes occur.
