INMOCO adds more industrial automation controllers
INMOCO has added seven new servo and stepper models to its popular MultiPro family of industrial automation controllers from Control Technology Corporation (CTC).
Brushless digital servos have SERCOS connectivity
Already 40% smaller than equivalent brushless digital servo drives, the Pacific Scientific all-digital PC800 range from Inmoco now offers more functionality, with SERCOS connectivity.
Designed for use in such equipment as video systems, robots and downhole inspection equipment, manufacturing and process control equipment, medical equipment and packaging machines, the miniature SRC series slip rings deliver a flexible, cost-effective, reliable and high-quality solution.
They are available in many standard configurations; offer a high rating life of 10 to the power of 8 revolutions (nominal speed 250rpm) and the facility of from 6 to 56 circuits.
In addition, their compact size allows installation into small systems thus guaranteeing high levels of performance.

The novel planetary roller screw technology of the Exlar FT Series of force tube actuators from Inmoco offers OEMs and machine builders the benefits of higher speeds, higher load capacities.
Actuator stator design gives 35% more torque
INMOCO has developed its GSX Series, a range of actuators employing T-LAM, a new, segmented lamination stator design, which produces 35% more continuous motor torque.
The design of the SRC series features a small ring diameter, which allows low peripheral speed between brushes and rings, as well as reduced dynamic imbalance; combined these factors mean low wear for the user.
Moreover, the use of noble metals (gold to gold alloy) assures longer operational life, lower frictional torque and reduced noise and interference between circuits.
All the above features make the SRC Series ideally suited to transmission of critical signals, such as high-frequency signals (video, fieldbuses etc.), very low currents and voltages (strain gauges, thermocouples and measuring equipment).
The SRC series is available for use with 240vDC/240Vac voltages; it is IP51 protected against the ingress of dust and dripping water, and offers a wide operating temperature range: -20 degrees centigrade to + 80 degrees centigrade.
In addition, the SRC series can be easily customised upon demand; the customisation concerns items such as connectors and cables, and also the number of circuits available from the SRC units.
Complementing the SRC Series for larger applications, are the SRH and SRH 1254 series of slip rings.
Both of these types make use of a special technology, which allows multiple contacts between their brushes and ring: 24 maximum in the case of the SRH 1254, and 120 for the SRH series.
The same technology also ensures low torque operation with reduced mechanical noise and low levels of wear.
Mounted in tough ABS housings, both SRH series are robust and offer IP51 ingress protection for use across a wide range of industries including packaging, manufacturing and processing, robotics, medical, machine tools, converting, cable winding, and many more.
