New products to be unveiled at Machine Building show

Included in the displays of robotics, custom automation and components for automating manufacturing and processes, the following products and systems are worth a look:

HepcoMotion will be highlighting several new products, among them the recently extended Utilitrak linear motion system. This economical linear guide provides a narrow, compact profile. And now, thanks to the introduction of standard bridge connections, parallel Utilitrak systems can be installed with ease.

Igus will be promoting its bus cables, cable-carrying energy chains and, in particular, its new stock bar. Made from high-performance iglidur bearing material, the bar enables users to benefit from high-quality, self-lubricating polymers in machined components. Furthermore, customers can now order machined special size bearings in low quantities.

Newport Corporation, a worldwide leader in laser and photonic systems that 'Make, Manage and Measure Light,' will unveil its UZS80 Vertical Linear Stage, offering high-precision vertical translation for applications requiring sub-micron resolution. The UZS80's low-profile design makes it particularly suitable for space-limited XYZ positioning applications such as scanning, topography measurements and focusing.

Rittal will be exhibiting its electrical automation software, EPLAN Electric P8, which offers the latest in CAE with optional graphical and object orientation, sophisticated technology and complete data transfer from EPLAN 5 and 21. This innovation allows applications to communicate directly with each other.

Schunk, a leading automation and gripping technology supplier, will show a variety of new products. The company recently entered a strategic partnership with Vision & Control and it will display the first products resulting from the co-operation. The Vision Sensor SRV is a development from the successful Camat series of products from Vision & Control; it is a complete system that can be used without additional peripheral devices. Schunk says its can be utilised for practically all tasks in industrial image processing. Schunk will also introduce the new size 60 Beta series of linear axes.
