Guide To Suppliers

From benchtop laboratory automation to plant floor material handling to heavy-duty construction vehicles, motion control system users are under constant pressure to differentiate in an increasingly commoditised marketplace.

Thomson Industries, Inc. has released a video showing how the synchronisation feature available with its Electrak HD electromechanical linear actuators helped Spika Design and Manufacturing address a growing customer demand.

Thomson Industries, Inc. has launched an upgraded RediMount option, a pre-engineered, modular adapter kit for seamlessly installing motors or gears in less than five minutes.

When manufacturing processes require high precision, high-speed repeatability and flexibility for applications such as CNC, robotics and material handling, production engineers often specify linear motion technologies.

As electromechanical actuators and other mechanical motion components expand in capability for heavy duty applications, so does their resistance to harsh conditions.

Balancing large or awkward loads can be a challenge for many industrial applications. Whether it is the hood of a construction vehicle, a large work platform, a solar panel or an industrial material handling system, movements that are imbalanced can impact performance, cause unnecessary wear and tear, and jeopardise worker safety.

Where traditional electric linear actuators have provided the most basic machine functionality, the increasing integration of advanced electronics is making today’s actuators safer, smarter and easier to network with agricultural, construction and mobile off-highway equipment.
