Motor Feedback Systems Rotary HIPERFACE® STS from SICK

The trend toward highly dynamic drive systems has clearly strengthened in recent years. The STS absolute motor feedback system ensures maximum flexibility and precision when measuring the position and speed of hollow shaft motors and direct drives. The non-contact magnetic measurement principle works without causing wear. A scalable measurement system, the STS adapts to different hollow shaft diameters of the application. In addition, the STS scores points with its particularly flat design and compact dimensions, making it the ideal solution for tight installation situations. Thanks to the standardized HIPERFACE® interface, the motor feedback system can be easily integrated into nearly any industrial environment.

Nidec Machine Tool Corporation Designs and Develops a New Linear Position Detector, Coming This Fall

Nidec Machine Tool Corporation recently announced today that it has newly developed an “MPLW series,” an electromagnetic-induction-type linear position detector that digitally detects machines’ positioning, feed, and other information. While maintaining the resolution*¹and accuracy equal to those of the conventional model, MPLZ series, the MPLW series, which uses a newly developed signal detection method and a highly integrated substrates, has successfully eliminated the need of scale wiring and an analogue-digital converter (an “A/D converter”), and achieved a new, multiple-slider function and a low price. This new model will be launched in the machine tool and other industrial machine markets this fall.

HARTING Launches T1 Industrial – the Mating Face for Single Pair Ethernet

HARTING recently announced the launch of the T1 Industrial connector – the standard mating face for Industrial Single Pair Ethernet. The T1 Industrial can accomplish communication across the common industrial Ethernet protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, and others) with a single twisted pair of wires instead of four or eight wires. This connector utilizes power-over-data-line (PoDL) technology to bring communication, voltage, and amperage needed to power the device.

Nidec Servo Launches Motors with Can-Bus, A Communication Function for Vending Machines for The First Time in The World*

Nidec Servo Corporation announced recently that it has launched the world’s first* brushless DC motors equipped with Can-Bus, a communication function for vending machines’ product pay-out mechanisms. Can-Bus (Controller Area Network-Bus), a type of vehicle bus, or an internal communications network that interconnects devices inside a vehicle or a train, enables microcontrollers and devices to communicate with one another without a host computer. Though originally designed for multiplexed in-vehicle electrical wiring that is required to be noise-resistant, Can-Bus is now used widely for devices to communicate control information in such areas as robotics, which includes transportation equipment and machine tools.
