Vacuum Compatible Light Load Rotary Stages with Built-in Controllers - X-RSM-SV Series
The X-RSM-SV Series are Zaber's most compact stepper and worm gear driven vacuum compatible rotary stages with built-in controllers.
The integrated stepper motor controller and motor driver allows for easy-to-use control, and the worm gear allows for continuous rotation. Zaber devices allow daisy-chaining in a vacuum chamber, decreasing cables and clutter. Only four feedthrough wires are required to control all devices in the daisy-chain via serial port. These stages are vacuum compatible in high vacuum (10-6 Torr) or low vacuum (10-3 Torr).
• 21 mm total height
• 0.02° repeatability, 4 mm aperture
• Built-in controller; daisy-chains with other Zaber products
• Custom versions available

ST Robotics Develops the Workspace Sentry for Collaborative Robotics
The ST Robotics Workspace Sentry robot and area safety system are based on a small module that sends an infrared beam across the workspace. If the user puts his hand (or any other object) in the workspace, the robot stops using programmable emergency deceleration. Each module has three beams at different angles and the distance a beam reaches is adjustable. Two or more modules can be daisy chained to watch a wider area. "A robot that is tuned to stop on impact may not be safe. Robots where the trip torque can be set at low thresholds are too slow for any practical industrial application. The best system is where the work area has proximity detectors so the robot stops before impact and that is the approach ST Robotics has taken," states President and CEO of ST Robotics David Sands.
