Intelligent CNC enables hesitation-free 3-D contouring.

Fanuc 16iMB encoder delivers 16,000,000 pulses per revolution for contouring accuracy and surface finishes on complex 3-D parts. With 3-axis high-resolution velocity (HRV) control, product optimizes axis motion, offers circularity potential to 0.00011 in. TIR, and reduces spindle thermal growth. Product offers high-speed control functions as well as Tool Life Management and Monitoring functions....

Hot Swap Controller eliminates need for OR-ing diodes.

Able to provide protection for redundant -48 V telecom power supplies, TPS2350 hot swap power manager allows precise control of current and voltage during turn-on and operation. Unit operates with supply voltages from -12 to -80 V, withstands spikes to -100 V, and uses 3 power field effect transistors. Programmable features include undervoltage and overvoltage limits, circuit breaking, fault...

CNC Control operates up to 4 digital axes.

CADMANÃ-® Express is a WindowsÃ-® NT-based system for Series PPEB-4 hydraulic press brakes with max Y1-Y2, X, R configuration. It features Intel Pentium microprocessor, 20 GB hard disk drive, CD ROM, and 12 in. TFT screen. Unit simplifies programming process by requiring limited input of data. It provides automatic calculation of bend allowance, automatic selection of tools based on...

Power Controllers work with PLCs, PCs, and SCADA systems.

Solid-state contactors accept 4-20 mA signal and convert it into time proportional output. With high-speed cycling capability of twice per second and set-point resolution of 0.5 sinewave, products reduce thermal stress and include finger-safe caged terminals, integral heat sink, and universal mounting bracket for DIN-rail or bolt-on installations. Products are available in single-phase models of...

Wear - What Wears in Electromagnetic Brakes

Learn the common causes of wear for "fail-safe" brakes and how to prevent wear for safe use.

Solid-State Contactors accept potentiometer input.

Power switching products accept 0-5 k potentiometer signal and convert it into time proportional output. With cycling capability of twice per second and set-point resolution of 0.5 sinewave, contactors reduce thermal stress and include finger-safe caged terminals, integral heat sink, and universal mounting bracket for DIN-rail or bolt-on installations. Products are available in single-phase...

Motion Controller offers EPROM chip and static memory.

Programmable, point-to-point MAC300 series integrates EPROM chip into controller housing to facilitate safety backup and enable capacity to retrieve, copy, and store all programmed information to flip-flop circuit. Chip allows users to upload, download, edit, and erase control programs multiple times. Able to store 64 programs, product utilizes Commander software to decode encoder signals....

Pneumatic Assembly Tool Control has error-proofing ability.

Smart Torq(TM) Error-Proofer learns correct fastener installation characteristics, monitors entire assembly process, and controls final torque. It identifies variations such as differences in workpiece characteristics, fasteners, or assembly tool performance and detects and identifies cross-threading, premature shut-off, re-hits, cam-outs, missed fasteners, and incorrect torque. Supplied with...

Motion Controller includes data acquisition capabilities.

Compatible with CompactPCI, PXI-7350 provides 8 axes of stepper or servo motion control from single slot of 3U PXI chassis. Module includes eight 16-bit analog inputs for single-point data acquisition and 64-bit digital I/O lines for controlling solid-state relays or reading digital encoders. It features arbitrary position triggers, sinusoidal commutation, and LabVIEW and Motion Assistant...

Ink Viscosity Controller retrofits to sealed cup pad printers.

Model VC-1 continuously monitors ink viscosity inside sealed ink cup. If viscosity varies outside preset range, solvent is automatically added to bring ink back to proper viscosity, without operator intervention. Unit mounts directly in ink cup, eliminating need for off-printer ink reservoirs. Model VC-1 works with single or 2-component inks.

Temperature Control System meets NFPA 79 safety standards.

Duratherm NPS negative pressure, temperature control system temporarily fixes cooling circuit leaks to allow production to continue through end of run. Incorporating venturi jet pump and reservoir, unit controls temperatures up to 180Ã-
