Food and beverage manufacturers are requiring cleaner, safer machine designs from their OEM machine builders. Here, Gerard Bush of INMOCO explains the key considerations of actuator design.

Celera Motion’s IncOder Series inductive encoders can be designed to work in ATEX environments, ideally suited to measure ¼ turn valve position in explosive conditions.

Celera Motion has launched a new frameless motor that provides high torque density in a compact form factor, combined with smooth motion.

A new range of mini inductive angle encoders are now available for ultra-precision measurement of angle or angular speed in harsh environments.

Kollmorgen has released a new servo drive, motor and cable motion package, designed to increase machine performance and reduce footprint.

Zero cogging direct drive motors are providing smooth motion control for OEMs of scanning, pointing, measuring and cutting machines.

With a number of manufacturers having dropped the availability of DC servo motors from their catalogues, designers of critical equipment in areas such as medical, military and industrial applications have had to face the prospect of rethinking their designs around an alternative motor.

Powerful custom-designed control systems can be designed and built with the Incentive series of automation software components, developed in the US by Control Technology Corporation (CTC) and available in the UK through INMOCO of Daventry.
