Thomson Industries has introduced a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary encoder as a standard option. Machine designers with applications requiring positional feedback can now specify the full line of SMLAs integrated with this enhancement.

WDS Components has launched a new range of durable, coloured bow handles, ideal for use with machinery and many industrial applications.

The box PCs from Phoenix Contact are suitable for a wide range of automation tasks – from simple data acquisition to complex IoT and edge applications. With the VL3 UPC series, particularly compact devices are now available for demanding edge computing installations in distributed control cabinets.

Many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier’s expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech’s real work begins.

Tolomatic has extended the capability of its twin profile rail linear stage actuator. The new TRS 225 doubles the maximum stroke length, now up to 2,200 mm, and boosts maximum load up to 1,960 kg. The linear system is supported in the UK by motion specialist INMOCO.

The new MD and MF planetary gearbox ranges unveiled by Apex Dynamics have been designed to deliver the best possible combination of value and high precision performance.

Delta has supplied complete automation package for digital printing machines manufactured by Portugese specialist MTEX, including servo drives and motors, as well as a motion controller.

With the launch of its next-generation DT80 distance sensor, SICK says it has revised the standard for measurement precision in countless industrial applications in a compact and robust device. Equipped with high-performance time-of-flight measurement technology, the SICK DT80 1D laser distance sensor achieves an accuracy of ±2 mm with a resolution of 0.1 mm at ranges up to 80 m.
