Thomson expands web-based MicronMOTIONEERING tool
Thomson Industries is expanding its web-based sizing and selection tool for Micron TRUE Planetary Gearheads. The web-based MicronMOTIONEERING is an application-based sizing and selection tool that quickly and easily identifies the correct planetary gearhead for your application. The improved MicronMOTIONEERING interface and expanded product offering, allows users to save time and boost confidence in knowing that they've selected the optimal gearhead for their motion control application.
Micron planetary gearheads from Thomson are used on high-precision motion control applications, such as CNC cutting, material handling and many variations of packaging equipment. These applications usually require a high torque to volume ratio, high torsional stiffness, and low backlash which are the performance advantages that the Micron products offer. The upgraded user interface was designed and tested to provide a professional user experience for design engineers. The expanded MicronMOTIONEERING now covers the full Micron offering, including the stainless steel AquaTRUE gearheads, suitable for food and packaging applications, and the XTRUE, a drop-in replacement for common gearheads in the market today.
Howard Horn, Product Manager Micron Gearheads at Thomson Industries, says: "MicronMOTIONEERING is an intuitive tool that greatly simplifies gearhead sizing and selection to help OEMs optimise their machine design in much less time than it takes using manual calculations and paper catalogue look ups. End users will find the cross-reference guide and expedited delivery option a life saver for line-down situations. It's the best sizing and selection tool for gearheads available online today."
The new upgrade allows customers to simply enter a few key application parameters and the MicronMOTIONEERING instantly delivers all the information needed to specify and order the right gearhead for the application. The extended capabilities of the online tool also mean it is now easier to quickly configure and download 3D models along with detailed and downloadable specifications including list price, delivery time, configuration parameters, life calculations, motor sizing and more.
The new MicronMOTIONEERING tool is available at www.micronmotioneering.com.
