As a linear direct drive, the actuator works without a gearbox or spindle, which also saves space and weight and makes the construction almost wear-free and low-maintenance. This makes it ideal for, for example, complex dosing tasks such as an insulin pump or a drug injector. Link, as it is called, can also be used in micromanipulators, for near-patient diagnostics or for microfluidic applications.
Advances in camera sensor technology and systems design are allowing higher speeds and resolutions than ever before.
Active Silicon has introduced its latest FireBird capture card, the 4xCOF-12 frame grabber, which leverages the proven CoaXPress FireBird technology and is designed for use with fiber optic cables.
Metaphase Lighting Technologies introduces the UB-LL, a passively cooled LED line light. Delivering up to 2.5 million lux, it offers uniform illumination for demanding machine vision applications.
Laser World of Photonics will once again bring the international photonics community together in Munich from June 24 to 27, 2025.
