iMOT17 intelligent motors Anthony Wrighton Business Area Manager, Panel

Welcome

iMOT17 is TECHNOSOFT’s family of size 42 mm (NEMA17) motors with integrated electronics, containing a brushless or stepper motor, encoder, servo drive and motion controller, all in one compact unit, this avoiding cabling between individual motor, encoder and drive.

What an incredible year it has been so far seeing our local football team Leicester City achieve the impossible by winning the premier league!

It has also been a busy year for the OEM Panel Components team with lots of exciting new products to launch and many more to follow.

• Size 42mm (NEMA 17)

We have recently strengthened our partnership with Stego the German manufacturer of thermal management solutions for control panels.

Their brand new filter fan plus range uses “air flap technology” to increase airflow rates and therefore efficiency. The “ratchet mount mechanism” allows for a secure and quick installation without the need for any tools.

• Motor supply: 12-48 V, logic supply: 12-36 V

• Overall lengths from 64 to 102mm • Continuous torque up to 0.3 Nm

• Integrated encoder 4096 pulses per revolution • TMLCAN, CANopen, or EtherCAT communication options • Circular M8 & M12 (TM version) or rectangular (XM) connector options

• Up to 5 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs and 1 analogue input

From Ensto “Vulcano” is a range of preassembled junction boxes that are fire rated for up to 90 minutes and Contaclip has launched a new range of test disconnect terminals.

We are launching a boost campaign with the Crouzet Millenium 3 range of logic controllers with the chance to win an iPad mini for every customer who purchases a starter kit during the offer period. These units are perfect for such a wide range of applications from the most simple to complex control systems. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with logic controllers as our team is on hand to offer application advice and even programming assistance if required.

Please read on for more details of all of these innovative products and be sure to check out the really cool videos on our web site at www. oem.co.uk If you have any comments or feedback please feel free to contact me directly at anthony.wrighton@uk.oem.se or call me on 07710 136298

For single and multi-axis applications, the intelligent motor can operate as a slave on a CANopen or EtherCAT network executing motion sequences received from the master controller or standalone operation with stored complex motion sequences programmed via TML (Technosoft Motion Language) in the EasyMotion Studio software. Motion libraries are also available (C/C++/Delphi/VB/ LabVIEW).

Available with a series of high quality planetary gearboxes, the iMOT17 intelligent motor range has been designed specifically for precise, repeatable positioning applications where a cost effective and compact solution is required.

Typical applications include packaging, printing, textile, medical, handling, labelling, pick & place and factory automation.

When it comes down to finding a suitable encoder for tight installation spaces, Kuebler’s miniature encoder portfolio is the right choice.

For many years the requirement from the market has been the demand for more compact encoders without accepting any compromise, especially in terms of robustness and accuracy. With a diameter of only 24 mm the 2400/2420 series of incremental optical encoders does not only save space they also offer a reliable and accurate solution. The robust bearing structure and the short-circuit proof outputs help to add to the robustness of these encoders.

Incremental miniature encoders are mainly used in small and compact applications. They do however also find their place in mobile automation, door drives and various types of processing equipment. With over 12,000 variants, Kuebler are able to offer the possibility to select the perfect encoder for your installation.

Increased air flow, quick installation, not just hot air!

Stego has launched a new innovative range of filter fans with enhanced features.

The Filter Fan Plus series with its unique technology achieves a more effective air circulation and offers a considerable plus in airflow.

• IP54, UL Type 12, NEMA 12 • Independently tested in application • 5 sizes - standard cut outs, 92mm², 124mm², 176mm², 223mm² and 291mm²

In or Out?

The Filter Fan Plus range is available in two high performance systems ensuring the right combination for your application. Whichever you choose you can be sure increased air flow over conventional systems.

FPI SYSYEM

A major part of the improved air flow is the use of the ‘air-flap’ system. This new concept eliminates the need for an additional filter mat on the outlet, enhancing the exhaust air flow. When not in operation the flaps close reducing the ingress of any dirt.

The new ratchet mount system provides a quick, secure and tool free installation into enclosures between 1mm – 4mm thick. By pressing the built in ratchet lugs the fan is pulled in to the cabinet wall with a reassuring click giving the installer the confidence that the fan is securely fitted.

Air inlet through filter mat with fan

FPI – Airflow “IN” This is the most common approach; a filter fan with filter mat is located in the lower part of the cabinet and draws cool air in from the outside and over pressure forces the warm air out from the exhaust grille. Thanks to the flaps on the grille the air flow is far more efficient.

FPO – Airflow “OUT” This is an alternative approach, where it may be necessary to expel the heat build up more directly from the upper part of the enclosure. FPO is the active part placed at the top of the cabinet and has the air flap technology; the intake filter is fitted at the bottom of the cabinet creating a vacuum as the cooler air is drawn in.

Do your CT links pass the test?

Test disconnect terminals are mainly used in applications monitoring AC electrical power, where the use of a current transformer is required.

Due to the SPTK’s modular design, they are perfect for a wide range of switching and measuring demands in the current transformer secondary circuits. All versions have ‘touch safe’ protection and the option of external plug in or internal screw-slide shorting links. For added security a ‘switch lock’ insert is also available to prevent the slides from being accidently operated.

OEM can also offer this range pre-assembled to your specification, cutting down on installation time and multiple stock lines.
