Dover Motion introduces SmartStage Shuttle

5 days ago | designworldonline.com | Miles Budimir

Dover Motion has released its newest SmartStage product—the SmartStage Shuttle, a long-travel linear motor stage. Building on over 60 years of motion innovation, the SmartStage Shuttle delivers 200 to 500 mm travel (with other travels available upon request) with 5 nm resolution, all within a compact design with the controller included inside the stage.
Wireless I/O devices added for hard-to-wire applications

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Puja Mitra

AutomationDirect has added the Define Instruments Twin Link series of point-to-point wireless I/O devices. These devices are intended for use in applications where traditional wiring may be difficult or impractical, such as over long distances, around physical obstacles, or with moving equipment. Each pre-paired set establishes a dedicated, bidirectional radio link to transmit analog or digital signals with minimal configuration.
Teknic ClearPath motors now rated IP66K and IP67 for washdowns

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Rachael Pasini

Teknic has obtained IP66K and IP67 ratings for its ClearPath integrated brushless servo motors in the 1 to 4 HP continuous power range. The motors are designed as totally enclosed, non-ventilated (TENV) units that can withstand high-pressure washdowns and temporary water submersion up to 1 m when not operating. The IP66K rating indicates protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, while IP67 certification covers temporary submersion.
IDS Imaging adds Sony Starvis 2 sensors to GigE uEye LE series

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Puja Mitra

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH will expand its GigE uEye LE series of project cameras at the end of June 2025 to include models equipped with Sony Starvis 2 sensors. These sensors are designed to support image processing applications in quality assurance, medical technology, and automation, and aim to maintain consistent performance in environments with low ambient light. The new single-board cameras are GigE Vision-compliant and compact, developed for use in high-volume applications.
Controller/drive features FOC and sensorless control

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Miles Budimir

The new N6 from Nanotec is a compact and powerful controller/drive for stepper motors (NEMA 14 to 34) and BLDC motors up to NEMA 23. With field-oriented control (FOC), the N6 ensures smooth operation and high energy efficiency. Its sensorless closed-loop control provides precise management of torque and speed. The controller/drive supports Hall sensors, incremental encoders (QEI), and SSI encoders. An external braking resistor can also be connected.
Greene Tweed proves seal compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Rachael Pasini

Greene Tweed has released results from a study confirming the compatibility of its fluorine-based elastomer seals with Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs). The results provide critical insights for aerospace leaders transitioning to sustainable, low-emission fuels, while ensuring safety and reliability. As the aerospace industry focuses on decarbonization, SAFs offer substantial CO2 reductions of over 65% compared to traditional jet fuels. Nevertheless, challenges such as seal compatibility remain.

How Accumold uses AI for micro-molding project decisions

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Rachael Pasini

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) dominates headlines and stirs conversations across every industry, the question isn’t whether AI will impact manufacturing; it’s how. Accumold views AI as a powerful tool to enhance human expertise, not replace it. “At Accumold, we see AI as an enabler, not a substitute,” said Roger Hargens, president and CEO. “It’s about empowering our people to work smarter, make faster decisions, and provide our customers with better outcomes.
SMC introduces ZHV series for dual-mode pneumatic conveying

2 weeks ago | designworldonline.com | Puja Mitra

SMC has introduced the ZHV series air amplifiers, designed to support both vacuum and pressure modes in pneumatic conveying systems. Also known as air conveyors, these systems transport bulk materials such as grains or pellets through closed pipelines. Vacuum conveying uses compressed air to draw materials through the system, while pressure conveying moves materials by pushing them through the pipeline, achieved by reversing the airflow.
EXAIR introduces UL-classified cabinet coolers for HazLoc use

2 weeks ago | designworldonline.com | Puja Mitra

EXAIR’s Hazardous Location Cabinet Cooler Systems are UL classified for use in purged and pressurized electrical enclosures in Class I Div 1 (Groups A, B, C, D), Class II Div 1 (Groups E, F, G), and Class III environments. Tested by UL, the systems meet the requirements for hazardous locations. With cooling capacities up to 5,600 Btu/hr., they are suitable for enclosures prone to overheating. These coolers are CE compliant and available for NEMA 4 and 4X enclosures.
