Micro-Sized Servo Drive
Advanced Motion Control Systems (Camarillo, CA) has released the FM060-60C-RM, the RS485/RS232 version of the machine embedded 60-amp continuous micro-sized FlexPro servo drive. The servo drives have the most compact form and highest power density. Despite its tiny 38 × 25 mm footprint, this serial communication servo drive features a 60-amp continuous current rating. This ensures that the cobot arm or mobile robot wheel will have the torque it needs to get the job done without adding any additional bulk. Serving as an alternative to our PCB mount FlexPro drives, the flying leads and Molex connectors on this drive allow it to be installed just about anywhere in your system. The drive also features a USB-C port so you can easily connect to a PC for configuration. Its key features also include RS485 and RS232 communication, machine-embedded form factor, 60 amps continuous/peak current output, 10-55 VDC input, and size 50.8 × 25.4 × 22.1 mm (2.00 × 1.00 × 0.87 in).

HV600 HVAC Drives
Yaskawa America (Waukegan, IL), has announced an expansion to its HV600 family of HVAC Drives. The new UL Type 12 Narrow HV600 Drive packages are best suited for HVAC applications. It offers UL Type 12 Protection without having to mount large, heavy, and expensive enclosures in your buildings. The addition of an integrated disconnect switch to the standard HV600 IP55/UL Type 12 drive saves time, money, and space during drive installation. The redundant drive packages provide the benefits of two HV600 drives in one enclosure for applications where you need critical VFD back up for your system. Featuring BACnet/IP, the MPE option card enables connection of HV600 and Z1000U Matrix Drives with the most popular building automation networks. Yaskawa offers the HV600 in a variety of drive and drive packages that meet UL Type 12 standards, making them the perfect choice for applications like cooling towers, data centers, and mechanical room.

Machine Tool Breakage Detector
HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION (Schaumburg, IL) has introduced the new TD 110 Tool Breakage Detector. Providing contact-free inspection of drill bits and end mills, it can determine whether a tool is broken off by more than 2mm as it passes within a machine tool, yielding significant time and money savings.The TD 110 tool breakage sensor can be placed in the work envelope so that it is fast and easy to reach during the tool change. The inductive sensor can detect tools as they pass by while they are spinning at their operational speed. Thanks to its rapid scanning technology, even very small tools made of HSS steel and carbide are detected. The breakage sensor can then generate either a floating or an HTL switching signal and the machine control can evaluate it via standard instruction sets. These signals/outputs can be used to connect to a HEIDENHAIN TNC control or a PLC or to any other IOs of nearly every CNC control manufacturer. In addition, an LED signals whether a tool has been flagged.

Position-Sensitive Detectors
Advanced Photonix (Camarillo, CA), a division of OSI Optoelectronics, has introduced a high-sensitivity, high-accuracy, 2-mm diameter Position-Sensing Detector (PSD) with spectral response from the visible out to the near and short-wave infrared (NIR-SWIR) wavelengths. The innovative APX-PSD-XVInG-3.1 is a low noise PSD with sensitivity from 400 nm to 1700 nm and high-position detection accuracy. APX’s 400-1700 nm PSD features 2kΩ inter-electrode resistance, high shunt resistance, low capacitance, and 20 μm position detection error. The highly sensitive PSDs are conveniently housed in a hermetically sealed TO-5 package or a 5 mm by 3.6 mm surface mount ceramic package with an anti-reflective window, making them suitable for integration into a variety of systems. The PSD is specially designed for Extended Visible InGaAs position-sensing applications in communication and defense for alignment, nulling, centering, targeting, and guidance systems.
