ROBOTSHOP LAUNCHES THE NEXT GENERATION OF LYNXMOTION SMART SERVO BASED ARTICULATED ROBOTIC ARMS
RobotShop, the leading source of robotics technology and owner of the Lynxmotion brand, announces today the release of an all new articulated robotic arm based on Lynxmotion's new Smart Servos (LSS) and Servo Erector Set (SES) V2 system launched earlier this year.
Lynxmotion is one of the oldest brands of educational robotic kits, including robot arms, bipeds, quadrupeds, hexapods, rovers and more. Purpose-built robots which were created using RC servo motors, evolved into a modular robotic building system known as the "Servo Erector Set". Lynxmotion's previous generation of articulated robotic arms, the AL5 series, is very popular in schools and the DIY / hobbyist communities.
"As more and more schools integrate robotics into their curriculum, it is important that teachers and students have access to the latest robots which can simulate articulated arms used in industry." indicated Coleman Benson, R&D Project Manager at RobotShop. "A culmination of over 20 years of experience in the field, this high quality arm is easy to use, versatile and affordable."
Lynxmotion's smart servos incorporate the best technology in their class and allow this new arm to be fully configurable. The custom human readable communication protocol is open to all, allowing users to easily integrate control of and obtain feedback from the arm's servos via their preferred programming language.
In order for users to get up and running quickly, a new software application called LSS Flowarm was created and includes a graphical interface with multiple ways to control the arm as well as create, edit and run sequences without any programming required.
RobotShop plans to launch add-ons and accessories shortly thereafter in order to facilitate integration and use in different education level and curriculums.

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion
BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE.
The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras.
The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
