Products equipment. It features super-high rigidity and offers long-term, maintenance-free operation. The compact, lightweight single-axis linear actuator combines high quality NSK ball screws, linear guides and support bearings. NSK Precision America Inc. www.precision.com 317-738-5089 of their modular design, the workbenches can be easily configured to suit an assembler’s specific needs without incurring the cost of a custom product. The proprietary Nexus system can be used to create shelves, parts bins, lights and electrical accessories. Overhead shelves and cabinets are also available. Lista International Corp. www.listaintl.com 800-722-3020 special waffle-like surface called the platen. Each forcer includes two or four linear motors oriented at 90 degrees to each other, which respond to variations in current to both rotate and move the forcer across the platen. The forcer can be positioned with a resolution of 1 to 5 microns.

The device measures adhesives in horizontal or vertical flat panel processes in the automotive, appliance and furniture industries. An ergonomic design ensures operator comfort amid changing production requirements. The handguns allow left- or right-hand operation and can be configured for vertical or horizontal adhesive application. Nordson Corp. www.nordson.com 800-683-2314 Workbenches Are Easy to Customize Workbenches feature heavy-duty, aesthetically pleasing and practical designs for use in a wide range of industries and applications. Because precise measurement of small components and circuits. They provide a handy replacement for bulky LCR multi-meters. The instruments allow one-touch identification and testing of surface-mount devices, as well as short-circuit diagnosis or printed circuit board extraction. An oversized digital readout clearly shows the type of component, measurement result and test conditions. Aven Inc. www.aventools.com 734-973-0099 components as large as 1 meter in diameter. Key to its performance is a vertical column that sits on precision bearing rails and can be adjusted and fixed in the radial direction to suit the diameter of the component being measured. Ametek Inc., Taylor-Hobson Div. www.taylor-hobson.com 630-621-3099 Vision Camera Is Intelligent USB 2.0 intelligent machine vision cameras have a software interface the lets engineers set gain, exposure time, frame rate, trigger delay, flash delay, duration and a specific area of interest. The camera can capture video in AVI format and still images in JPEG or Bitmap formats. The software can perform edge enhancement, hot pixel correction, image X-Y Table Provides Noncontact Motion The Cartesian Planar System serves as an alternative to traditional X-Y tables in which one axis carries another. The system consists of a moving element, called the forcer, which glides on frictionless air bearings over a 52 ASSEMBLY / April 2009 www.assemblymag.com http://www.precision.com http://www.listaintl.com http://www.intellidrives.com http://www.nordson.com http://www.taylor-hobson.com http://www.aventools.com http://www.assemblymag.com
