Baldor Intros NextMove-ES/ESB/ST Motion Controllers

Baldor Electric Co. (UK) introduced a new family of USB-compatible motion controllers compatible with the Mint language. The high-speed USB interface provides the serial communications performance that allows the motion subsystem to be mounted in the optimal location inside a machine, instead of a PC expansion slot. The approach simplifies system building and enhances ruggedness. With three multi-axis choices providing a range of servo and stepper motor control in packaged or PCB forms, the new family allows OEMs to select optimal solutions for a variety of application requirements.

The members of the product family are the NextMove-ESB, a packaged controller offering three servo and four stepper control axes; NextMove-ES, a single-Eurocard with two servo and four stepper control axes; and the NextMove-ST, an intelligent three-axis drive for stepper motors. All three options include built-in I/O and CAN field-bus interfacing. This provides a platform for machine control tasks as well, eliminating the need for a separate PLC in many situations.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
