New! Motion Control Information Added 1-27-2012
MOTION CONTROL COMPONENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
New Featured Motion Control Components:
Scientific Technologies, Inc. (STI), introduces the new "Gotcha Stick" Safe Distance Scale. This three-segment safe distance stick accurately tests the allowable barrier opening size based on the distance from the point of operation. It features English measurements on one side, and Metric measurements on the other. Although not officially adopted by OSHA, the "Gotcha Stick" is based on data from "A Review of Machine-Guarding Recommendations," by Donald R. Vaillancourt and Stover H. Snook of the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Health & Safety. This data redefines the dimensions of the human arm for the purposes of machine guarding. The resulting new stick has been modified to include openings of less than 1/4 inch over the first 1/2 inch distance. Click here for more information.

Motion Control - Hollow Core Linear Voice Coil Motors from MotiCont!
Van Nuys, CA - These motors, having a large axial hole throughout the entire coil and body structure are ideal for optical focusing, scanning and other precision positioning applications requiring an axial opening through the motor. Linear DC Motors, Voice Coil Motors (VCM) or Voice Coil Actuators (VCA) are the simplest type of electric motors. These motors consist of two separate parts; the magnetic housing and the coil. Applying a voltage across the terminals of the motor causes the motor to move to one direction. Reversing the polarity of the applied voltage will move the motor to the opposite direction. The generated force is proportional to the current that flows through the motor coil. This force is almost constant in the specified stroke range of the motor. Click here for more information.

ENGINEERS' LIBRARY - MOTION CONTROL WHITE PAPER - ACHIEVE SUPERIOR SERVO PERFORMANCE, QUICKLY, WITH AUTO-TUNING!
RADFORD, VA -- Compliance in motion control transmission components tends to decouple the load's inertia from the servo system at higher frequencies. First-generation auto-tuners didn't take this "rubber band effect" into account, and even the best tuning specialists need lots of time and a little luck to get optimum performance. Kollmorgen's chief engineer of servo technology, George Ellis, explains how full-frequency auto-tuning can achieve perfect performance in a matter of minutes. Click here for more information.

Entertainment Engineering An Online Magazine for Engineers!
Entertainment Engineering is a magazine that covers motion control, hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, software, and electromechanical technologies that are used in many types of entertainment devices and events such as movies, concerts, theme and amusement parks, electronic games, and racing and sporting events. Co-founder Terry Persun explains why it was important to maintain the look and feel of a magazine at www.entertainmentengineering.com . "We felt that many web sites, especially the web sites of engineering magazines, are confusing to readers who may not easily identify which portions are editorial and which portions are purchased advertisements that are not subject to the scrutiny and integrity of editors," says Persun. "That confusion is absent on our web site." For More New Components Click here
