Upgraded RediMount Option

Thomson Industries Inc. has launched an upgraded RediMount option, a pre-engineered, modular adapter kit for seamlessly installing motors or gears in less than 5 minutes. The improved option is now the default for Thomson linear motion systems and precision linear actuators, and its capabilities are factored into optimal sizing recommendations generated through the company’s Linear MOTIONEERING product sizing and selection tool.

High Torque Retention Knobs Offer Added Safety

Safety in design is critical to CNC milling operations end products, as well as to the machine’s profitability. As the trajectory of today’s new milling technology trends toward machines producing extremely high speeds/high rpm within a smaller overall foot print–potential safety issues can’t be ignored. Loose tools moving fast could present the potential for a lot of damage to the machine and workpiece.

Gen4 Ionizing Bar

EXAIR’s new Gen4 Ionizing Bar eliminates static electricity 25 percent better than previous models by eliminating larger static charges, faster. It has improved range and is effective when mounted up to 4 inches from a charged surface. Production speeds, product quality and surface cleanliness can improve dramatically.

ServoStep Integrated Stepper Motor

JVL Industri Elektronik A/S introduces a new compact and slim stepper motor. The new ServoStep integrated stepper motor series MIS171 to MIS176 have a NEMA 17 42x42 mm flange and include controller with six different industrial Ethernet protocols, absolute multiturn encoder, closed loop and M12 connectors. This new motor family is based on the latest microprocessor and cooling technology and an advancement compared to previous designs.

TMX Series Direct-Drive Motors

CNC specialist NUM has significantly expanded its portfolio of motors for machine tool applications by launching a range of high-performance brushless torque motors. Employing innovative optimized magnetics, NUM’s new TMX series direct-drive motors have an extremely low cogging torque. They are ideal for applications that demand very smooth and accurate rotation, especially at low speeds. Typical uses include direct-drive machine tools, rotary tables and radial positioning units.

MLD Magnifier Luminaire

Waldmann Lighting introduces MLD, a complementary new addition to its magnifier luminaire portfolio. For any application where attention to detail is paramount, MLD magnifier luminaire features glare- and distortion-free 3.5 diopter magnification with a large, wide 6.3-inch diameter lens.
