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.
International Paper Saves Labor Costs, Improves Reliability, Quality and Work Flow
Downtime near zero vs. extended downtime of former gantry system.
What to Look for When Specifying a Robot Cable
In order for a cable to withstand repeated torsional movement, its necessary for the cable to have a special design. Its important that the conductors, shield construction and jacket materials of the cable compensate for major changes in bending load and diameter.
Robotic Welding Series: Robotic Flexibility Can Open Up Opportunities For Job Shops
This is the final installment of a 4-part series by KC Robotics about the automated arc welding industry.
Interview with Jim Gruszczynski of Nabtesco Motion Control
In the near future the more advanced the equipment becomes we must produce more skilled labor. This is great benefit to the US in that companies themselves will be helping educate their employees and improving the workforce.
Robotic Welding Series: Pre-engineered Cells Cut Through Economics of Automation
This is the third of a 4-part series by KC Robotics about the automated arc welding industry.
The Importance of Field Based Cable Length Measurement for Cable Installers
Quick, accurate determination of cable length and line continuity testing using hand-held cable length instruments brings value to the cable installer, the contractor, and the customer during installation, trouble-shooting and routine maintenance cabling jobs.
Case Study: Ancor And The Monroney Window Sticker
Ancor knew there had to be a better and more efficient way to manage the label packaging process - which had a 10-hour or less nightly production timeframe and a client-mandated 100% verification process.
Robotic Welding Series: Perfectly weld imperfect parts with adaptive welding
This is the second of a 4-part series by KC Robotics about the automated arc welding industry.
Integrated Force Control
A force‐controlled robot can be programmed to mimic the movements of a human arm, applying search patterns to find the correct position to assemble a given part.
Robotic Welding Series: Alleviate Skilled Welder Shortages With Robotic Welding Cells
A robot system, fully deployed is going to give two to three-hundred percent return on investment per year.
Compliance In Motion - An Automotive Parts Application
Even 1 mm of misalignment between the robots end of arm tool and the position of the parts in the table could cause costly damage.

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion
BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE.
The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras.
The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
