Singularity Issues Are Now A Thing Of The Past
September 1st, 2010
Denso Robotics 6-Axis robots no longer suffer from singularity. Watch our video below to learn more on how Denso’s engineering team has solved the problem.
The Technology
Historically, and with many robot manufacturers, when 2 or more joints line up near their zero degree points during a linear move an error will occur shutting the robot down. Basically, the inverse kinematic model running inside of the robot controller will overload as the number of possible...
Nexen Roller Pinion System Opens Up New Design Possibilities
July 28th, 2010
Nexen Group’s unique new Roller Pinion System (RPS) revolutionizes linear and rotary motion.
The Technology
The RPS allows machine designers to incorporate highly accurate linear and rotary motion-control functions with zero backlash and speeds as high as 11 meters per second (36.1 feet per second).
The incredible performance of the Roller Pinion System is controlled by the innovative way in which the roller pinions engage the...
Cognex Track And Trace Up To Healthcare Serialization Challenge
June 30th, 2010
The medical sector is an extremely complex environment in which drugs and medical devices need to be traced to ensure that the right drug is administrated to the right patient at the right time in the right dosage. And while serialization standards exist, product manufacturers know that new, higher standards along with mass serialization of packaging involves more than simply reading a barcode on a label; all of the data on the label must be verified for accuracy.
Cognex In-Sight Track & Trace is up to the challenge.
Accustep From Intelligent Motion Systems Eliminate Stalling
June 24th, 2010
AccuStep is an all-in-one step motor system integrated with new motion control technology that prevents unintentional stalling due to transient or continued overload, extreme acceleration or deceleration, or excessive slew speed.
The Technology
AccuStep control technology is hardware based for real-time response. It continually monitors the relationship between the rotor and stator at sub-microsecond intervals, and will not allow that relationship to...

April 16th, 2010
Reader Adds Ethernet, Liquid Lens
The DataMan 200 adds Ethernet connectivity and liquid lens technology to what's billed the world's smallest high performance fixed-mount ID reader. These new features enable faster communication speed, easier integration with factory controls, and software-driven autofocus for easy, hands-free set-up. Ethernet connectivity gives DataMan 200 users the advantage of real-time data and image transfer, and easier integration with plant controllers and information networks.
Cognex Introduces Third Generation Checker Sensor
August 4th, 2009
Cognex® Corporation (NASDAQ - CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems and vision sensors, has added the Checker® 3G series to its award-winning Checker vision sensor product line. With simple setup, integrated part detection, lighting, I/O and job change all in a rugged IP67 housing, Checker 3G is the easy, reliable and affordable way to verify all products or parts on the line.
With Checker 3G, the user chooses whether to configure the sensor as a presence sensor or measurement sensor. Presence sensors verify that features are present. Measurement sensors verify that features are the correct height, width and/or diameter. In either mode, there is no limit to the number of part features that a single Checker can “check”. Checker is also able to detect and track over 6,000 parts per minute in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning and delivering consistent, precisely timed pass/fall results. No other sensor,...
