The Four-Axis Gantry (YY'ZZ') is a four-axis positioning stage that consists of two SRS-007-03-006-01 brushless linear motor stages; each vertically mounted to two independently moving horizontal linear axes. It is suitable for applications that require multiple independent motions on a single travel plane. Each horizontal linear axis uses a BLDM-D04 H2W brushless linear motor to generate a continuous/peak force of 16.5 lbs. [73.6 N]/49.0 lbs. [220 N]. Each table has a non-contact 1.0-micron resolution encoder head reading a single encoder scale allowing for precise positioning. H2W Technologies
Highland Technology’s T130, a USB/RS-232 enabled pulse generator drives LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder and similar electro-optical devices. The T130 output can swing up to 7 V relative to baseline and is capable of driving high Vpi EOMs at low duties down to single shot. A built-in edge-triggered width generator is adjustable for delay and width, spanning 250 picoseconds to 300 nanoseconds across three ranges. The T130 produces fast, low-jitter edge transitions. Output voltage swing is adjustable from -0.5 volts to -7 volts into 50 Ohms. A 10:1 resistive pick-off enables monitoring the drive signal with a 50 Ohm oscilloscope. Highland Technology
Mahr, a global manufacturer of precision measurement equipment used for dimensional metrology, introduced its MarSurf WI, a white light interferometer, developed in cooperation with NanoFocus, that enables high-resolution 3D measurement with ease of use. The system features evaluation technology based on artificial intelligence (AI), which allows high accuracy to be achieved with increased robustness. The system offers a resolution of down to 0.1 nm, making it suitable for use in the production of semiconductor devices or optical components, as well as automotive, aerospace, medical and more. MAHR
STMicroelectronics' ESDCAN03-2BM3Y dual automotive-qualified low-capacitance transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is designed to protect CAN and CAN-FD interfaces. The TVS meets the automotive industry’s need for miniaturized and high-performing protection devices for the increasing numbers of high-density ECUs, including ADAS, autonomous driving controllers, and automotive gateways. Using this device, designers can save 75% or more of the PCB space needed by typical TVS in SOT23-3L and SOT323-3L packages. The ESDCAN03-2BM3Y offers transient protection with clamping voltage as low as 33 V (8/20µs at 1A) and 37 V (transmission-line pulse (TLP) at 16A). STMicroelectronics
SCHURTER has added the DKIV-1 series to its range of current-compensated chokes, for 1-phase high-current applications on printed circuit boards. The series is designed for rated currents from 10 A to 50 A and requires only a tiny footprint on the PCB. The chokes comply with IEC 60938, and with a rated voltage of 300 VAC or 450 VDC, they are suitable for almost any application. The DKIV-1 series is also certified for current ratings from 10 to 50 A, 300 VAC according to IEC and UL and 10 to 50 A, 250 VAC according to CSA. SCHURTER
