ITT Launches Automation Grade Brushless Servo Motor
New product designed for medical, packaging applications
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--ITT Corporation's (NYSE: ITT) Torque Systems brand has long provided engineered motion control and automation products for a variety of industries. It is now expanding its line of high-quality and reliable products by launching an automation grade brushless servo motor designed for medical and packaging applications.
A servo motor provides automated equipment with the speed and motion control necessary to function efficiently and reliably, based on feedback from other machinery components. Medical automation applications for the new servo motor include surgical robotics, diagnostic machines and analyzers, while packaging automation applications include bottle capping and package filling and labeling.
"ITT manufactures products and solutions for key end markets, and these technologies are recognized industry-wide for their quality, reliability and overall value," said Jeff Weisbeck, director, product management and sales, for ITT's Control Technologies business. "With this new line of servo motors, we are enhancing our ability to serve the needs of our customers."
ITT's Torque Systems brand's engineered motion control and automation products include AC and DC servo motors and incremental encoders in addition to its line of brushless motors and direct drive sets. For more information, visit www.torquesystems.com

Schmalz Technology Development - Vacuum Generation without Compressed Air - Flexible and Intelligent
• Vacuum generation that's 100% electrical;
• Integrated intelligence for energy and process control;
• Extensive communication options through IO-Link interface;
Schmalz already offers a large range of solutions that can optimize handling process from single components such as vacuum generators to complete gripping systems. Particularly when used in autonomous warehouse, conventional vacuum generation with compressed air reaches its limits. Compressed air often is unavailable in warehouses. Schmalz therefore is introducing a new technology development: a gripper with vacuum generation that does not use compressed air. The vacuum is generated 100% electrically. This makes the gripper both energy efficient and mobile. At the same time, warehouses need systems with integrated intelligence to deliver information and learn. This enables the use of mobile and self-sufficient robots, which pick production order at various locations in the warehouse. Furthermore, Schmalz provides various modular connection options from its wide range of end effectors in order to handle different products reliably and safely.
