Join Dave Dlugos, Product Marketing Leader at Ashcroft, as he breaks down the fundamentals of RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and thermocouples. With 40 years of experience in temperature and pressure measurement.

Introducing Echoline by UE Precision Sensors for monitoring environment health and safety while improving wafer integrity and equipment safety.

We're continuing to talk about terminology and this time we're talking about rotary mechanics.  I’m Corey Foster of Valin Corporation.  Let's talk about this.

Valin and Mitsubishi Electric joined forces to bring the latest automation solutions to our customers in Arizona on August 7th.  On board the mobile showroom customers saw the latest technology in PLCs, drives, CNCs, motion control, HMIs, energy monitoring and management, industrial robots, and connectivity for MES and ERP applications.

Along with monitoring points for pressure, level, and flow, a chemical manufacturer has up to 500 temperature measurement points; both thermocouple and RTD, scattered throughout their process.

A 1-minute video shows the main functions of the TTK digital leak detection system on a data center site.

These are the four most important questions to ask when selecting either a servo or stepper motor for your application: speed, torque, inertia and power.

What is the difference between a direct drive and worm-gear driven rotary stage?  Which is better?

Linear motor actuators are great…but we hesitate before using them in vertical applications.  We discuss why and what some solutions are.

Looking for an electric actuator with a specific stroke length?  We discuss the feasibility of producing custom stroke lengths using various technologies.

Have you found an actuator that you like that you want but it just does not quite have everything that you need?  Maybe you wish you could tweak it just a little bit?

This video is going to show the details of using the servo press in the first of the position press modes which is “Speed Control-Keeping Position”.

This video is going to explain the five program steps in the IAI Servo Press programming cycle.

This video is an overview of the Robo Cylinder® software that is used with Intelligent Actuator Servo Press product.

Are you struggling in getting the performance from your servo motor that you are expecting?  We discuss how the servo drive configuration can adversely affect your servo motor performance.

Should you use 5 or 24-volt logic with your devices and controllers?

Find out the difference and why you’d use differential signals.

A useful topic to understand is the difference between “sinking” and “sourcing”.  You can use this for inputs and outputs and to make sure that your feedback is compatible with your electronics.

Learn about different types, protocols, form factors and variations of feedback.

Machine tending is the automated operation of industrial machine tools in a manufacturing plant using robotic automation systems.

Brushless servo motors are a specific type of synchronous electric motors.  We look at few different designs and compare them.

John Brokaw helps us learn the difference between these types of motors plus how AC Induction and servo motors fit in.

One may think this is simple, but there are a lot of pitfalls in the compatibility between drives and controllers from different manufacturers.  Here are the factors to consider.

Which is better: Selecting motors and mechanics that are the best of breed from different manufacturers OR sticking with one supplier?  Here are the factors to consider.
