Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) has added four goniometers to their expanding catalog of high precision positioning stages. The new, AK160-30 Goniometer Series feature precision ground worm gears with a 400:1 ratio and pre-loaded cross roller guides offer +/- 30 degrees of travel with 30 kg of load.

Heidenhain will be exhibiting at ATX West, Booth #4455, on February 7-9 in Anaheim, CA. Heidenhain will showcase the latest in absolute modular rotary encoders. ATX West focuses on how to better automate manufacturing processes by showcasing the latest automation and intelligent robotic technology to increase efficiency and reduce time, waste, and cost.  

Heidenhain will be exhibiting at Photonics West, Booth #3053, on January 28-February 2 in San Francisco, Calif. Heidenhain will showcase the latest MULTI Degrees-of-Freedom (MULTI-DOF) motion control components, offering manufacturers a better way to implement metrology designs. Photonics West is the world’s premier lasers, biomedical optics and optoelectronics event.

The DMC-3x01x Motion Controller Series is Galil's latest generation single-axis motion controller. It uses a 32-bit RISC processor to provide higher speed than older models.  Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-3x01x is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools for servo tuning and analysis. 

Heidenhain will host a worldwide digital event for automation, running November 28 - December 16 with opportunities to join online with appointments available for North Americans over four days (December 5-8).

With the introduction of the PressFit rotary encoders from Heidenhain, small-motor manufacturers finally have a better solution for incorporating automated mounting for feedback devices. This new ExI 11xx encoder series features a unique compact design that allows fast and simple mounting by press-fitting into a motor housing while still allowing surrounding space for cables and seals.

Moticont has added a high speed, high acceleration/deceleration, non-cogging, high resolution, high force-to-size electric cylinder to their line of linear voice coil actuators.
