Güdel Catalog App Debuts on Apple iTunes Store
Systems integrators and those who use apps developed specifically for the iPad need only search under the name GCZ Catalog.
ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN. Güdel now offers its entire catalog of linear motion components, tracks and gantries as a free app from the Apple iTunes Store. Systems integrators and those who use apps developed specifically for the iPad need only search under the name GCZ Catalog.
Güdel linear motion technology is used in traditional and leading-edge applications for robots and automation, especially in the manufacturing sector, transportation and automotive industry, energy supply, logistics and warehousing.
"Automation workers and systems integrators routinely turn to online resources," said Joe Campbell, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Güdel Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "GCZ Catalog is on Apple iTunes so anyone with an iPad who builds and specifies automation has easy access to the latest generation of linear motion technology."
Güdel has manufacturing and service locations around the globe so the app includes several language options. It is available in English with translations in German, Spanish, Dutch, French and Russian. There are specifications, drawings and photo galleries to guide the user toward practical, ready-to-use information.
"Güdel is internationally known for robust and reliable components like racks, pinions and gearboxes as well as complete modular systems. In fact, Güdel is the only track manufacturer that is vertically integrated from linear motion technology through the final track product," said Campbell. "Güdel has been doing linear motion for generations, and this app is a modern convenience for everyone in automation, especially innovative minded systems integrators and OEMs."
The GCZ Catalog app on Apple iTunes is one of several online resources offered by Güdel. The Güdel website offers a unique "Robot Sizing Tool" to help engineers select the right robot for a specific gantry or Trackmotion. Virtually all robot brands are supported by Güdel and the robot sizing tool is updated constantly for new models. Users can also access CAD drawings and the Güdel catalog from www.gudel.com/us.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
