The ECO linear stage series builds upon Aerotech’s long tradition of producing low total-cost-of-ownership motion designs. Excellent positioning specifications, high stiffness and a variety of options and features combined with economic pricing make ECO stages a suitable choice for applications where robust motion performance is needed.

JW Winco Inc. offers stainless steel leveling feet, with inch size threaded stud and turned base. Bases are available with mounting bores (GN 23) and without mounting bores (GN 21).

Introducing the 35mm diameter CBL35C electric cylinder with built-in controller from SMAC Corp. With its built-in controller, the CBL35C controls force, position and velocity and features simple installation.

Three new sizes have been added to engineering components supplier WDS Component Part’s range of stainless steel handwheels, so that end users and OEMs can select an appropriate size for each application.

Mencom offers a wide range of media converters from entry-level media converters to smart media converters that support redundant-power and automatic speed negotiation, so the transitions from copper-based networks to fiber-based networks can be smooth and trouble-free. Mencom media converters and smart media converters provide reliable solutions to all conversions between single-mode or multimode fiber optics to Ethernet/serial and they are suitable for operating temperature range from -10 to +70° C and the serial-to-fiber media converters have an optional temperature range between -40 and +70° C.

JW Winco Inc. offers GN 310 steel and stainless steel gear level handles in inch and metric sizes. Both versions of the gear lever handles are RoHS compliant.

A safe energy supply with highly dynamic cable travel is particularly important for machines with confined spaces. Therefore, igus has developed the small-sized E2.10 energy chain from the E2.1 series. The e-chain has an inner height of only one centimeter and an outer height of one and a half centimeters, making it suitable for the smallest of spaces.

The new A-635/A-637 PIglide low-profile stages from PI (Physik Instrumente) have no rolling or sliding elements and deliver frictionless, noncontact motion, resulting in negligible reversal error, better wobble, eccentricity and velocity stability – suitable prerequisites for high-end industrial applications such as inspection, metrology, calibration and scanning, including cleanroom environments.

Traditionally, leveling and alignment of a CNC machine are time-consuming and cumbersome tasks with tedious repetition on going back-and-forth checking "bubble" position in-between tiny graduation lines. This monotonous trial-and-error alignment task promotes boredom that often succumbing maintenance engineers to resort for compromising works. All these issues are now a thing of the past with Digi-Pas 2-axis Smart Master Machinist Level and Inclinometer.
