Automation System
Brushless DC Motors
Methods Machine
Tools (Sudbury, MA)
offers the JobShop
Cell PRO automation
solution incorporating
a main en closure
with several different
pre-engineered endof-arm
and infeed/
outfeed options. It features an industrialgrade,
articulating FANUC 6-axis robot in an
aluminum enclosure that allows a RoboDrill
to be placed on the left or right side or in a
twin cell with two machines. Removable panels
on the common enclosure allow for several
different infeed and outfeed options including
conveyors, drawers, lazy susan style pallet
systems, and interfaces for vibratory and other
bulk feeding solutions. The RoboDrill offers
multi-axis simultaneous machining with a
10,000 or 24,000 RPM BBT-30 spindle. Cus -
tomers may choose from a 3, 4, or 5-axis configured
RoboDrill and an array of standard
hydraulic or pneumatic workholding options.

Nanotec (Feldkirchen, Germany) introduced the APBA80 series of brushless
DC motors with a rated power of up to 1.000 W. They come standard
with integrated encoder or with encoder and brake and are rated IP65.
They have a peak torque of 9.6 Nm, a rated speed of 3,000 rpm, and a
rated voltage of 48 V. In addition to the standard version with keyway,
individual shaft modifications are possible as are customized windings.
The control electronics can be tailored to specific applications. The
motors are suited for battery-powered applications such as AGVs or service
robots and are safe for use in environments where standard AC servos would
require additional insulation and safety measures.

Solenoid Valves
Emerson (Florham Park, NJ) released ASCO™ Series 256/356 two-way
and three-way solenoid valves with a reduced overall footprint
to enable OEMs to optimize the internal layout of their
equipment, supporting more fluid control options to be integrated
into a smaller final product. The valves are available in
body materials including lead-free brass, stainless-steel, and
an engineered composite material. The valves are dust-tight,
IP67-rated, and submersible in up to one meter of water, making
them suitable for harsh environments.

Cov
ToC
Ruland (Marlborough, MA) introduced zero-backlash jaw couplings that accommodate all
forms of misalignment and are customizable. They are well-suited for servo
motors used in precise positioning applications found in semiconductor,
solar, medical, and robotics. The couplings have a threepiece
design comprised of two aluminum hubs and an elastomeric
insert " spider, " which is available in three durometers: 98 Shore A,
92 Shore A, and 85 Shore A. Inch, metric, keyed, and keyless hubs
with clamp or set screw hardware can be combined to fit user shaft
requirements. A proprietary curved jaw profile on the hub tenons that press fit with the spider
ensures zero-backlash operation. They are available in bore sizes from 1
⁄8 " to 1
mm to 32 mm.
