New Positioners Products

Welding Carriage suits semi-automatic welding.

With welding torch clamped on, 4-wheel drive, battery-operated Mini-Vert will travel and carry welding gun in flat or vertical positions, allowing production of continuous, uniform fillet welds. Quick torch mount allows welding gun to be rapidly moved from one side of machine to the other.

Linear Stage uses direct-coupled brushless motor.

Suited for space-constrained applications, ATS125 incorporates brushless rotary motor and hard-coated aluminum cover. Vertical orientation of side seals deflects debris away from stage. Square-wave encoder output, with net resolution of 1 micron for 10 mm ball screw and 0.5 micron for 5 mm ball screw, is standard. Available with standard- and precision-grade ball-screw options, product offers...

Linear Stages integrate stepper motor and screw.

Mini-RailÃ-®MS self-lubricating, motorized, screw-driven miniature linear stages provide smooth and quiet linear motion control. Units require no sealing, emit no particulates, are corrosion-resistant, and tolerate high temperature extremes. Available with 3 different leads, units are suited for semiconductor processing, clean rooms, scanning and input devices, packaging machinery, medical...

Position Monitoring System indicates tool status.

OTT/JAKOB employs electronic analog sensor, which detects position and allows user to monitor drawbar for performance and wear. Electronic unit, attached to machine controller, transmits data, while system indicates whether tools are clamped, unclamped, or not present. Tool head accuracy and longevity are increased by monitoring cycles and hours, which indicate whether tools are properly held....

Advantages of Thermoset Plastics vs. Engineered Thermoplastics and Metal Parts

Thermosets and engineered thermoplastics are sometimes better suited to differing situations, but they do have some overlap in relevant use cases.

Motors and Stages are suited for miniaturized products.

Squiggle(TM) ultrasonic linear motor uses piezoelectric ceramic tube that supports 2 threaded nuts which hold threaded shaft. Tube is electrically driven at ultrasonic frequency. Measuring less than 10 mm in dia and 20 mm in length, motor exhibits up to 5 N force with resolution of better than 100 nm. Speed Range is 1 Ã-µm/sec to 5 mm/sec, and range of motion is 50 mm or more. Squiggle stage,...

Medical Puller helps hospital workers position beds.

Measuring only 13 in. high, battery-driven ERGOtug MÃ-² slides under one end of bed, while automatic hitch slightly lifts 2 of bed's wheels off ground. Operator can reposition bed using controls on handle to turn, stop, back up, or go forward. ERGOtug MÃ-² can remain attached to bed frames during transport in elevators. It offers load capacity up to 1,800 lb and maximum speed of 4.5 fps.

Skid Lifter offers 3,000 lb capacity and 32 in. lift height.

Designed to pick up load on skid or open-bottom pallet, Skid Lifter transports load to workplace and raises it to working height using 2-speed manual pump. For loads less than 600 lb, unit shifts into Quick-Lift mode so forks can be raised 32 in. in just 18 strokes of steer handle. For heavier loads, unit shifts to Ergo-Lift mode, raising forks to full height in 55 strokes. Load stabilizers...

Direct-Drive Rotary Stage has out-of-the-box functionality.

ASR1100 series incorporates pneumatically operated collet chuck that accepts ER16 series collets, which support tube diameters from 0.5-10 mm. Features include normally closed collet configuration and threaded collet retainer. Air is delivered to rotating collet assembly via frictionless, seal-less, rotary union. Design, with direct-drive brushless motor and encoder, minimizes stage weight and...

Automated Positioning Stage fits in 10 x 40 x 10 mm envelope.

Model LC-9.5 consists of aluminum base and carriage containing 2 rows of precision ceramic ball bearings that are separated by stainless steel retainer and roll between 2 steel raceways on either side. Compression spring between Delrin lead screw nut and end of base produces preload on nut that provides anti-backlash properties. Stage offers straight line accuracy of 0.0005 in. per in. or 0.01 mm...

Multipurpose Gantry suits in-line applications.

Suited for high-precision manufacturing applications, JSG Series multipurpose gantry system utilizes aero-stage drive system and closed loop AC servo motors. Other features include 17.6 lb portable tool weight, adjustable height, and built-in sequencer. Flexible, multi-axis, overhead positioning system can be combined with options such as CCD camera work-positioning, sensor tool positioning, and...
