Balluff Visison

Machine Vision - Sharpshooter

Sharpshooter™ combines vision capability and photoelectric sensor simplicity. This optical sensor provides reliable error proofing and quality inspection anywhere. It can be used like a sensor, but provides far more functionality than any discrete sensor. And it’s also far easier to use and more cost effective than more complex vision systems.

Primary Benefits:
  • Easy 3-step software setup
  • Simple hardware platform with multiple functions
  • Minimal vision knowledge needed

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc.

A700 Variable Frequency Drive

Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc has introduced its A700 high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) for controlling motors ranging from 1/2 to 600 horsepower.

The A700 is the first drive from Mitsubishi to feature a built-in programmable logic controller (PLC) and features many of the special technologies originally developed for Mitsubishi Electric servo drive products, such as adaptive auto-tuning which automatically compensates for changes in load inertia. The result is smoother operation, less downtime and ultimately, lower operating costs.

Exceptionally versatile, the A700 achieves class-leading motor performance using encoder feedback to operate in "flux-vector" mode to generate torque at zero speed and allowing positioning control. With a speed response time of 300 radians per second the A700 reacts quickly to sudden load changes with utmost efficiency.

Used without an encoder, the A700 uses the newly developed "Real Sensorless Vector" (RSV) algorithm to provide a 200:1 speed range. Its ability to control torque as well as speed makes it ideal for applications where constant tension must be maintained, such as wind/unwind control.

Communications to the A700 are supported with most popular protocols, including Profibus DP, CC-Link, DeviceNET, LonWorks, ControlNET, Modbus RTU, Metasys N2, EtherNET IP and Modbus TCP/IP, as well as Mitsubishi Electric's proprietary RS485 network. In addition, SSC Net III, Mitsubishi's high-performance, fiber-optic motion network is also supported, allowing the A700 to operate in conjunction with Mitsubishi Electric's new J3 servo drives and complete line of motion control products.

Tolomatic

Tolomatic "MX" Series Family 

MXP is designed to outlast every rodless cylinder on the market

With Tolomatic's ENDURANCE TECHNOLOGY features, the MXP band cylinder sets a new standard for durability.

Durable bearings: Profiled rail design uses THK® Caged Ball® technology to reduce friction and extend actuator life. Solid bearing design reduces stress concentration by 59% for optimum performance. Internal bearing design is permanently lubricated for long trouble-free service.

Durable Bands: Strong stainless steel bands will not expand like elastomer (non-metallic) bands, providing reliable sealing over the life of the actuator.
