New Motion Control - Lower Cost Moving Magnet Designs from H2W Technologies!
Santa Clarita, CA -- Typically a motion control H2W Moving Magnet Actuator has precision bushings and shaft which cause the moving magnet design to be cost prohibitive. However not every customer requires a bushing with high tolerance precision, and thus H2W has the ability to modify the linear bearing systems of our voice coil designs to accommodate a lower cost bushing and shaft. The pictured actuator has a custom shaft and housing to accommodate a customer's specific cost, envelope, and shaft requirements.

Motion Control - The RVC-5 Rotational Voice Coil Motor, Establishes a New Standard for Rotational Voice Coil Stages!
Sunnyvale, CA, Equipment Solutions, Inc. introduces the RVC-5 Rotational Voice Coil Motor, setting a new standard for rotational voice coil stages. It is an instrument with the extreme precision of a galvanometer and the compact size and reliability of a resonant scanner. The RVC-5 rotational voice coil motor creates "Rotational Translation" using a flexure bearing. The "Rotational Translation" is achieved by tilting a precision mirror +/- 5°. Developed using advanced FEA technology, this flexure bearing will provide infinite life, and perfectly smooth motion that is free of stiction and friction, and is capable of positioning a load with unprecedented speed and repeatability. Typical industrial, medical, and scientific applications include: Semiconductor fabrication, optical testing, scanning microscopy, circuit board assembly, micro manufacturing, laser cutting, engraving, drilling, and laser marking.
