Make It Smart; Make It Here!
Make it smart and make it here! These are the rallying words heard around the world regarding keeping jobs in-country and manufacturing smarter, more efficiently, and less costly.
Inductive Linear Sensors
Todays applications require their sensors feedback in much quicker intervals. The faster the response, the faster the production or through put of work, which results in a low cost per unit or operation.
Bionic Kangaroo
With the artificial kangaroo, Festo also shows how pneumatic and electric drive technology are combined in a highly dynamic system.
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Whether a robot is needed to prototype a part or a robot is the object being prototyped, Rapid Prototyping is the future.
Design With Touchless Rotary Sensors
Touchless rotary sensors are position sensors that use a position marker attached to an applications rotating part plus a sensor to measure the markers angle.
Why I Automate: Engineered Machined Products, Inc.
Like any small company introducing change into their operations, some employees feared that automation may take their jobs. But at EMP, the opposite was true. "Weve seen jobs grow, and thats very important; not only for this community, but for the State of Michigan,"
Festo's FAST Program
The FAST™ Program is a group of close to 2,000 products that can be utilized in many automation applications that we guarantee to ship within 1, 3, or 5 days, depending on the configuration.
National Robotics Week And MATE ROV Competition
The 2014 MATE competition highlights the role that ROVs play in exploring and documenting shipwrecks, studying sinkholes, and conserving our national maritime heritage sites.
Graphene - The New Magical Material
Graphene may possibly be the future replacement for silicone. Its a two-dimensional material that measures just one atom thick and has a breaking strength 300 times greater than steel.
Cable Carriers for Rotary Applications
Here are three different types of rotary applications and the cable carrier system used for each.
How Trends in Electronics are Affecting Connectors
New smaller and more portable electronics in aerospace, defense, and other stressful environments, like those encountered in robotics and oil exploration, are resulting in changing demands and designs of electronic connector systems.
DRC SafeStop Case Study
For the Robotics Challenge, to demonstrate the robots ability to operate a vehicle, DARPA chose to use the RANGER XP 900 EPS vehicles, which were all customized for the challenge with a TORC SafeStop Emergency System.
AUVSI 2014 Special News Report
This is our special news page where you can read about and post news and announcements about products and services exhibited at AUVSI 2014 Unmanned Systems.
Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing The Future of Manufacturing
The next chapter in the industrial revolution is 3D printing, delivering a huge impact on additive manufacturing. It will not only create thousands of new jobs, but it will create many new businesses.
Drones in the Water
Essentially, were creating drones for water that produce mapping capabilities; its somewhat similar to air drones (i.e.: fixed wing UAVs) that map from the sky, but were mapping from the water.

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
