New Controls & Controllers Products

Web-Enabled Devices work with acquisition/control programs.

iSeries Web Server and Ethernet-Serial bridge devices connect directly to Ethernet network via RJ-45 connectors, and can send and receive data in TCP/IP packets. Able to serve Web pages over Ethernet LAN or Internet, they monitor and control processes through web browsers. Web pages are customizable, and provide secure, password-protected access to devices. They can send email alerts to...

Motion Control System integrates in-drive PLC with controller.

Omega Drive Line II offers cam profile of 4096 points and resolution of 4 million ppr. PLC can process 100 microseconds per 1,000 lines of code, and controller has cycle time of 62.5 microseconds. CANsync field bus permits use of cluster concepts with several hundred axes synchronized within time frame of 1 ms and with transfer speed of 1 Mbps. PROPROG programming software supports IEC 61131...

Machining Center handles components with single clamp.

Multi-station Rotoper performs heavy-duty machining and light-cut finishing of large, 5-sided steel, aluminum or cast iron parts. Available in 3 to 10 station configurations, it can deploy up to 72 tools in combination, with drive options up to 25 kW. It has locking pallets, single clamp workpiece fixturing, and 3-axis CNC modules with spindles or tool turrets. CNC controls include tool...

Guidance System maintains navigation after GPS is lost.

MIGITS(TM) MEMS Integrated GPS/INS Inertial Tactical System provides guidance, navigation, and control for applications such as unmanned vehicles, instrumentation, commercial aviation, railroads, and helicopters. It has small quartz MEMS inertial sensor cluster and 12-channel C/A code GPS receiver, which provides position, velocity, time, attitude, altitude, heading, acceleration, and...

Super Precision Bearings for Machine Tools: Factors For A Successful Spindle Bearing Set Up

This white paper provides an in-depth overview into choosing the right bearing for machine tools.

Controllers/Mainframes offer hot swap capability.

Hot runner control mainframe cabinets and controllers are offered with SafeChange(TM) feature, which prevents damage in case control module is inadvertently removed from mainframe while power is on. Cabinets are available in 2-, 3-, 5-, 8-, and 12-zone models. They include pre-wired power distribution, side mounted ventilation fans, and built-in grounding for mainframe and control modules.

Fan Control IC provides variable speeds.

ZXBM2000 series of ICs controls 2-phase, dc brushless fan and blower motors up to 100W. ZXBM2003 provides frequency generator rotor speed output; ZXBM2002 offers locked rotor error output; and ZXBM2M001 combines both signals on dual function pin. All deliver up to 80 mA to pair of external MOSFET or bipolar transistors connected to fan motor windings. Speed control is implemented via variable...

Temperature Regulator needs no gaskets.

Mark 80 uses sealed actuator with stainless steel diaphragm, and does not require bellows. To seal actuator, upper and lower casings and diaphragm are heli-arc welded around circumference to create solid bond, eliminating need for gasket. All sealing surfaces are metal to metal. Sealed, short stroke actuator reacts to smaller temperature changes and needs less time to travel to compensate for...

Motor Controllers suit battery powered vehicles.

AC Induction Models 1230, 1236, and 1238 are designed for 24 to 80 volt battery systems, with 60 to 800 Arms 2 minute current ratings. Lower power Model 1230 satisfies requirements of small EVs. Models 1236 and 1238 are CANbus-compatible for mid range and larger EVs. They include Vehicle Control Language (VCL) and employ Flash programmable memory that can be erased and re-written many times. All...

Fire Alarm Control Panel suits stand-alone applications.

FireSeeker FS-100 supports series of photoelectric, thermal, and photo/thermal combination detectors. Detector sensitivity may be adapted to proper level during system configuration and fixed or changed on time/date basis. Up to 60 addressable inputs are available. Fire safety system is UL listed and available with black or red enclosure. Operating controls and indicators are secured behind...

Transmitter/Receiver provides wireless control.

860 MINI/MAXI Series is mounted in IP65/NEMA 4X enclosure for safety and weather protection. Relays operate in modes of Latching, Momentary, or Combination. Receiver has over 65,000 security code combinations and works with 1/4, 1/2, and 5/8 wave antenna choices, depending on application. Power options include: 12/24 Vdc/ac and 115, 230, and 48 Vac.
