SMAC’s new Low Cost Linear Actuator brings stiff price competition to pneumatic actuators
SMAC's new LCL (Low Cost Linear) Actuator brings stiff price competition to pneumatic actuators.
SMAC announces a new low cost actuator series that brings actuator list price to $300 or less.
SMAC's design features:
• SMAC's patent pending Printed Coil technology with integrated encoder reader head.
• Precision laser cut housing and end caps.
• IKO precision linear recirculating guides.
• Very strong Neo denium magnets.
• Strokes out to 200 mm.
• Acceleration of 100G
• Cycle rates of up to 2000 a minute.
• Cycle life >100M.
• Programmable Speed, position, and force.
• Ability to "Softland" and then push.
• A round Stainless steel cover option for IP requirements. (CDL option)
• Built in controller option
• SMAC's simple programming GUI - at no charge.
• SMAC's MCA inside concept that allows the rapid and low cost development of application specific actuator dimensions at no charge to the customer
Now there finally is a cost competitive and technically superior option to air cylinders. Its time to move out of old dumb 20th century technology and into the 21st century with actuators that can "Do Work and Verify the Result at the Same time".
Also, available is an optional SMAC LDL Moving Coil Actuator.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
