Pangolin Delivers Increased Speed, Rotation, Response, and Control While Reducing Cost by a Third
July 24, 2012 1:54 pm | Pangolin Laser Systems, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsLong dissatisfied with the speed and control limitations of rotary actuators used in laser scanning and other optical and lighting applications, Pangolin Laser Systems, the world’s leading producer of laser show software and control hardware, announced the introduction of a low-power rotary actuator based on an innovative, dual-coil, segmented stator design. The new VRAD-1510 significantly increases the speed, range of rotation, response, and precision of motor shaft movement while reducing the actuator’s cost by at least one-third compared to existing devices.

Reduced Cabling Means No Signal Error for Ultrasonic Equipment Testing
July 2, 2012 4:05 pm | by Hack Summer | Articles | CommentsFrom prenatal exams to torn ACLs, ultrasound imaging for medical purposes is used to visualize muscles, tendons, fetuses and internal organs. The technology for imaging has been around more than fifty years and has become one of the most common, non-invasive diagnostic tools in the medical industry. Testing the ultrasound machinery is an intricate process with a high need for accuracy. For this reason, one of the largest international medical diagnostic equipment manufacturers for ultrasound imaging machinery trusts the Moog Animatics SmartMotor on their testing equipment. The SmartMotor was able to supply the precision motion control with the least amount of electrical noise (electrical noise interferes with ultrasound beam alignment).

Pinch It: Contamination-Free Fluid Management Using Pinch Valves
May 30, 2012 12:09 pm | by Don Harris | Bimba Manufacturing Company | Articles | CommentsTransferring fluids in healthcare applications can be a complicated procedure when trying to ensure there is no contamination from outside surfaces. Pinch valves offer a solution via a pinching mechanism that “pumps” the fluid through the tubing. This article examines the technology, offers considerations for selection, and highlights the types of tubing that are best suited for use.

Long-Travel Piezomotors: New Innovations, New Solutions
March 22, 2012 10:43 am | by Scott Jordan and Stefan Vorndran | Articles | CommentsPiezoelectric actuation is the foundation for a myriad of mission-critical high-technology applications, from semiconductor manufacturing to genomic sequencing and medical devices. Known for nanometer precisions, piezoelectric principles are proving highly adaptable to new configurations and modalities. Recently-developed mechanisms built on a variety of novel applications of piezoelectric technology have burst through the former travel limitations familiar from classical nanopositioning mechanisms. But like those time-tested mechanisms, those built on these newer principles offer high axial force, exceptional speeds, compactness, fieldlessness, and stable position-hold without dither. These long-travel piezomotors offer valuable, proven solutions for engineers grappling with tough technical and economic needs.
