Moog Animatics Product Release
June 24th, 2014
Introducing Integrated Servo System with Multi Turn Absolute Encoder Option
Moog Animatics is proud to announce the availability of the Multi Turn Absolute Encoder options for our "MT" series motors. This option is a hardware-specific internal change with a required external battery for back-up to allow tracking of shaft position when no power is being applied to the SmartMotor.
The "MT" series products may be ordered in kit form with battery and cable or as separate parts. There are three different cable length options for the battery. The battery itself attaches to the Limits with I/O connector of the MT series SmartMotors and uses the home switch input.

High Force Air Bearing Xy Voice Coil Positioning Stage
May 30th, 2014
H2W introduces its latest custom XY voice coil positioning stage (VCS08-700-08/350-AB-01-MC-XY) which is guided by precision air bearings. This minimizes the amount of friction and reduces the pitch, yaw, and roll in the system. The stage is driven by three NCC series moving coil type linear actuators which are guided by parallel air bearing shafts. It is operated under closed loop position control. This system was designed specifically for an accelerometer testing application.
It...
Automation And Fashion Come Together In New Exhibit At The Met
May 12th, 2014
Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, May 5th, 2014
The inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated Costume Institute examines the career of the legendary twentieth-century Anglo-American couturier Charles James (1906–1978). Charles James: Beyond Fashion explores James's design process, focusing on his use of sculptural, scientific, and mathematical approaches to construct revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring that continue to influence designers today.
Axis worked with exhibit designers using Universal Robot arms and Rollon linear actuators to automate detailed viewing experience for museum attendees. Congratulations on the opening of this groundbreaking Costume Institute!
Miniature Xy Brushless Linear Motor Positioning Gantry
May 6th, 2014
H2W Technologies introduces a miniature XY brushless linear motor positioning gantry (SRS-002-007/003-003-01-XY), which is ideal for applications that require a low profile and more than 2 inches of stroke.
