ANCA Motion

perfect for both qualified suppliers and internal 3D printing departments. At the heart of the CO-AM platform is a data-lake that connects to all production tools and keeps track of what is happening on the production floor. The ability to monitor and analyze production data will enable operators to define and store their own unique workflows in a knowledge database, empowering them to continuously improve the production process. This creates an AIpowered learning platform where every printed part has the potential to be better than the previous one.

The Materialise CO-AM platform presents an open software architecture that provides companies direct access to multiple hardware technologies and their preferred tools from Materialise and other software developers, supporting them along every step of their AM journey – from planning and printing to quality control.

Drawing on it’s decades of experience in building and scaling additive manufacturing (AM) businesses, Materialise also provides Design & Engineering services, Consultation and Co-creation opportunities to advance the AM adoption in businesses and industries. Representative from Materialise will be available during AMW to discuss opportunities with client who are seeking for guidance in harnessing the potential of additive manufacturing in their business - whether is to get started in AM, create an AM roadmap or create a custom application with 3D printing.

ANCA Motion: maximizing productivity with LinX® M-Series – Energy-efficient tubular linear motors made in Australia.

As technology advances, manufacturers seek ways to boost their operations' productivity while placing a growing emphasis on energy efficiency to reduce cost and environmental footprint. To meet these demands, ANCA Motion, a leading provider of motion control systems, has introduced the LinX® M-Series tubular linear motor. These technologically advanced motors are designed to replace pneumatics and ball screw actuators in various applications that require more complex, precise, and rapid motion profiles.

The LinX® M-series motor consists of a shaft containing strong magnets and a forcer containing wound copper coils. Due to its tubular design and strong circular magnetic flux, the motor can deliver superior efficiency with unprecedented speed and acceleration, producing a continuous force range between 80N and 287N and a peak force of up to 1,200N.

The LinX® M-Series motor features an integrated position sensor with 0.01 millimetres of resolution and 0.03 millimetres of repetitive accuracy, allowing precise transitioning between two or more linear motion strokes without needing external encoders.

LinX(R) M-Series is revolutionizing several industries with impressive performance capabilities. One such industry is packaging, where the motor's high acceleration and deceleration rates, combined with its precise control, enable packaging machines to operate at higher speeds with greater accuracy. With no cogging and no backlash, The LinX® M-Series is also gaining attention in the laser cutting and semiconductor industry. The motor's smooth and consistent motion further increases its appeal to manufacturers in this space. To maintain a competitive edge, businesses must be flexible and responsive to the market's ever-changing demands. In cases where modifications to an existing production line are necessary to meet new requirements, the LinX® system offers a simple solution. Adjusting parameters within the drive configuration allows operators to easily modify the system without costly and timeconsuming hardware changes. LinX® provides enhanced system flexibility and is particularly well-suited for applications that require precise control.
