STEPPERONLINE New Linear Stepper Motor

Linear stepper motor is a device that generates force and motion through a straight line. Linear stepper motor uses a stepper motor as a source of rotational power. Inside the rotor, there is a threaded precision nut instead of a shaft. The shaft is replaced by a lead screw. When the rotor is rotating (as in a conventional stepper motor), linear motion is achieved directly through the nut and threaded screw. It makes sense to perform the rotation directly to the linear transformation inside the motor, because this method greatly simplifies the design of the rotation to linear applications. This makes high resolution and precision ideal for applications that require precise motion. The step size of the linear stepper motor is determined by the step angle of the motor and the pitch of the internally threaded nut and the lead screw. In order to ensure high working efficiency, there must be a certain degree of freedom between the rotor and the lead screw, which requires a certain gap between the two, which is about 0.03 to 0.08 mm axial clearance (also called backlash).

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

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.
