MCMA Technical Conference in New Orleans Registration Open
MCMAs TechCon is an educational conference focused on the needs of users of motion control and motor technologies. New in 2016, the conference includes MCMAs Certified Motion Control Professional training.
(Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) - Today the Motion Control & Motor Association (MCMA), the global trade association for the motion control and motor industry, announced that online registration is open for the annual Technical Conference (TechCon), which will be held October 11-13, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana USA.
MCMAs TechCon is an educational conference focused on the needs of users of motion control and motor technologies. New in 2016, the conference includes MCMAs Certified Motion Control Professional training. Additionally, the conference features more than 30 educational sessions in three distinct tracks including motors and related technologies; motion control, drives and related technologies; and networks and software tools for engineers all taught by industry leading professionals.
TechCon includes an exhibition showcasing the latest products, technologies and trends in motion control and motors.
"Engineers, system integrators, machine builders and end users meet once a year at TechCon to keep their skills up-to-date and to help their companies be more productive," says Dana Whalls, MCMAs Vice President. "There is a lot packed into three days at TechCon, but technology is changing quickly and attendees want to stay ahead of it, plus they find it a valuable and enjoyable experience."
The MCMA Certified Motion Control Professional training is being taught for the first time at TechCon. Attendees of this training will be able to get certified after a one-day, hands-on workshop and exam slated for April 5, 2017 during MCMAs Automate trade show in Chicago.

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.
