PC-based Control, Robotics Help Packaging
PakTech uses PC-based control and robotics for affordable performance, 99% efficiency, and 20% cabinet space savings to get a better handle on multicontainer packaging. See photo gallery. » more
Engineering and IT Insight: Keep your systems from becoming MULES
Manufacturing IT systems can easily become mature, undocumented legacy execution systems (MULES) as requirements change, knowledge is lost, and supporting systems go obsolete. Keep your software... » more
Inside Machines: Torque production
Case notes: Robots that use motors in the joints present a motion-control challenge. Should the application produce torque using a six-step technique or sinusoidal commutation for brushless dc (BLDC)... » more
Back to Basics: Motion, guidance, positioning
Setting any object in motion makes it necessary to transfer power and overcome friction. For millennia humankind has used rollers and slides; modern technologies are much better. Here’s a quick guide... » more
Energy Efficiency: Regenerative Braking
Instead of wasting the potential energy associated with the BackEMF voltage of a vehicle's electric motor via heat loss, it can be used to recharge the battery and therefore recover energy for higher... » more

Ethernet converters for manufacturing, processing, automation applications
Belden has added four Perle System IOLAN DS Serial Ethernet Converters to the Hirschmann product line featuring fanless cooling, suitable for discrete manufacturing, processing operations, power... » more
Image-based readers surpass laser scanner in code-reading ability, said Cognex
1D and 2D codes can be obscured and difficult to read in many applications, because of size, quality, printing method, or environment. Because of higher accuracy, image-based readers are rapidly... » more
