Delrin-Based Chains To Appear At Hanover Show

Iwis Antriebssysteme and CoKG will introduce their Flexon hinged-slat chains and Mattop chains at 'Motion, Drive and Automation', to be held in Hanover, Germany, from 20-24 April 2009. The polymer chains are made from Dupont's Delrin acetal resin, which helps them prevent contamination and makes them energy efficient and easy to maintain.

FDA-approved Delrin combines high mechanical load capacity, dimensional stability (also in humid environments) and excellent sliding behaviour. According to requirements, chain-links produced using two-component injection moulding are available, whereby the strap made of Delrin is over-moulded with a non-slip, soft component made of a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer.

8400 HighLine Joins Lenze L-Force 8400 Inverter Drives for Motion Control

Lenze Americas, a leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, has launched the new 8400 HighLine Inverter Drives, part of the Lenze L-force 8400 portfolio. Designed for positioning applications, the HighLine model features integrated point-to-point positioning for up to 15 position destinations, and stores the corresponding travel profiles directly in the inverter. “Positioning in motor drive systems used to require a separate motion controller. Most applications don’t require a higher cost servo drive. Dynamic speed, torque and precision motion control can be achieved with a powerful inverter in combination with an asynchronous motor,” states Darrow Hanesian, director of inverter products, Lenze Americas. “Our streamlined HighLine delivers all the cost savings and benefits of combining two drive elements—the motion controller and the frequency inverter — into one.” The HighLine inverters’ integrated components transl...
