Reliance introduces intelligent mechatronic assemblies

These new intelligent mechatronic assemblies include:

• The Reliance Cool Motion Slide - Available in lengths up to 1.4m, these compact slides combine the high speed and linear accuracy of a screw-driven slide with the intelligence of a integrated motor.
• Reliance Cool Muscle Racktuator - A compact and lightweight linear actuator with the option of solid or hollow racks.
• Planetary gearboxes - With interfaces designed to suit the Reliance Cool Muscle motor, these units are economic where high efficiency, low backlash and long life are required.

The Reliance Cool Muscle Motor, available in NEMA sizes 11, 17, and 23, is claimed to benefit from unique abilities to network with other motors performing synchronised or simultaneous complex co-ordinated motions. In 2007 the RT3 version of the motor was released, with the new capability of sharing I/O and using mathematical notation to perform movements.

Reliance's attention to quality and accuracy is demonstrated across its motion control range. The new assemblies will further strengthen links with the medical and scientific industries, where the company's products are often used in multi-axis, pick-and-place and high-speed precision applications.
