Thomson Industries, Inc. has launched an online tool that simplifies the selection and purchase of its range of profile rail linear guide components.

Fundamental ball screw technology hasn’t changed much since 1929, when Rudolph G. Boehm patented what he called an “anti-friction” nut. The ability to move heavy loads smoothly and precisely is a key process which continues to enable engineering innovation today.

Thomson Industries, Inc has announced the availability of the CANopen industrial networking protocol as an option for its line of heavy-duty Electrak HD electric actuators.

Thomson Industries, Inc. has announced availability of its new Electrak MD, a more compact electromechanical actuator that retains all of the intelligence built into its larger counterparts.

Thomson Industries, Inc. has introduced an electro-hydraulic actuator that has the strength of hydraulic cylinders but without their complex external assemblies or extensive fluid handling requirements.

Cobots are increasingly used in large-scale production applications that involve continuous lifting operations but still require a human touch. While cobots have been in use for at least a decade and continue to grow, applications have been limited by the gearing systems that control motion.
