Teknic has added an EtherCAT interface to some of its brushless servo motor models, creating the ClearPath-EC range. These come in frame sizes from NEMA 23 to 34 and powers from 38 to 429W, and the motors are sealed to IP66K or IP67 which enables them to be washed down. All feature an internal position encoder, and are programmable via ...

Omron has launched a high-capacity PCB-mount relay for switching dc in 15 to 40kW household electricity storage systems, bi-directional EV chargers and uninterruptible power systems. G9KB-E is based on the earlier G9KB family, and is the same size and weight (37 x 50mm footprint and 50mm tall), but can switch higher power, up to maximums of 800Vdc or 100A. Envisaged ...

CUI Devices has announced an incremental encoder for motors with shafts between 1 and 6.35mm in diameter. “The AMT12 series brings the same durability, accuracy and immunity to environmental particulates as current AMT encoder models in a more compact 22.2 x 22.2 x 12.8mm package,” according to the company. Outputs are single-ended cmos quadrature A and B signals that can ...

Emil Otto is aiming at joining steel, stainless steel, brass and copper objects below 450°C with three tin-based soft-soldering pastes. “The soldering and tinning pastes do not require zinc chloride, are therefore not subject to hazard labelling and can be used for soft soldering and tinning,” according to the company. “Zinnin Green pastes are used in the metalworking industry as ...

Miniature loudspeaker and microphone manufacturer Knowles is to provide precision fabrication and design services to medical device makers. “Knowles specialises in small, intricate components and assemblies with tight tolerances and high precision,” according to the company. “Its miniaturisation capabilities will provide med-tech OEMs with customised design, development and manufacturing services for miniature components and assemblies. Knowles will help companies scale ...

Laird Thermal Systems has created a range of thermoelectric coolers for taking heat out of small spaces, such as the chambers within medical analysers or test instruments. The SuperCool X series has three cooling options: air-to-air, direct-to-air or liquid-to-air. SLAX liquid-to-air models have a cooling capacity of up to 400W, according to the company, SDAX direct-to-air models up to 220 ...

CUI Devices has added 300 parts to its line of power relays. “This product introduction more than doubled our previous offering,” a spokesman for the company told Electronics Weekly. “The notable feature additions are Class F coil insulation, epoxy sealed models, expanded coil voltages from 3 to 110Vdc, silver tin oxide contact material and extended temperature range models from -55 ...

TDK has introduced a radio wave absorber material with more than 25% or biomass by weight. Called the IS-BP series, the foams are intended to line the ceiling, walls and floor of microwave anechoic chambers used to evaluate antennas and wireless communication equipment, as well as millimeter-wave radar for automated driving. They consist of polyethylene loaded with carbon, and there are ...

Farnell is to stock a range of 3D printing filamants under its Multicomp Pro brand, aiming at “design engineers, creators and hobbyists”, it said. “As interest and demand in 3D printing continues to grow, we are happy to provide our customers with a diversified line-up of 3D printer filaments that are designed to meet the quality standards engineers require,” added ...

Die-bonding at up to 60,000 flip-chips per hour, is what ITEC is claiming for its ADAT3 XF TwinRevolve. “Instead of the traditional forwards and backwards up-down linear motion, the new die bonder employs two rotating heads to pick, flip and place the die in a fast, smooth action,” according to the company. “This mechanism reduces inertia and vibration, allowing for the ...
