Precision drive systems for tomorrow’s design needs

Engineering Industry News

Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) is exhibiting at Engineering Design Show. From 9 to 10 October 2024 at the Coventry Building Society Arena, EMS will showcase the latest in micromotor technology, including FAULHABER’s new Motion Manager 7 and BX4 integrated motion controller (IMC) series. The team will also be on hand to discuss how its bespoke custom drive system offerings can enhance drive system design.

Engineering Design Show is the UK’s only trade show that’s entirely dedicated to mechanical, electronic and embedded design, attracting over 4,500 visitors and 200 exhibitors each year.

Aligned with this year’s focus, ‘Innovation in Action’, EMS will spotlight the latest products and solutions from FAULHABER, including the Motion Manager 7 and BX4 IMC series, both created to enhance the potential of drive system design.

Released to complement the latest V3.0 motion controllers, including the MC 3001 B/P and MC 5010 models, the upgraded Motion Manager 7 software maximises drive system performance and increases positioning accuracy. The upgraded Motion Manager also offers an expanded toolset to control and observe drive behaviour, graphical analysis with axis scaling and provisioning of developing environments for sequence programs.

Similarly, the BX4 IMC series advances on FAULHABER’s brushless BX4 servo motor range and V3.0 Motion Controllers. Combining the BX4 motor’s high torque and speed, extending the motor length by 18 millimetres, with V3.0 positioning control, the BX4 IMC series is the most powerful and compact IMC system on the market.

The BX4 IMC offers a full-featured servo controller, a 12-bit encoder and full compliancy with CiA 402, facilitating smooth incorporation into industrial systems. Moreover, its compliancy with EMC emission standards helps to minimise the potential impact on surrounding electronics, essential for sensitive applications like medical imaging devices.

As well as showcasing the latest from its network of motor manufacturer partners, EMS will also be on hand to discuss how a custom, application specific drive system can help customers overcome the design limitations of off-the-shelf offerings. As part of its in-house manufacturing capabilities, EMS offers a full turnkey service for custom gearbox design. Experts can support with the specification, design and manufacturing stages of a custom design project, produced in its state-the-the-art manufacturing suite in Poole.

“Exhibiting at this year’s show gives us an excellent opportunity to connect with visitors, providing them with unique access to the latest developments in precision drive systems,” explained Dave Walsha, sales manager at EMS.

“There is pressure on engineers to continually innovate to meet rapidly developing industry demands. EMS’s product and service offerings, designed with power, precision and adaptability in mind, help to solve drive system design challenges across multiple sectors. Ultimately, allowing our customers to continue to push the boundaries of innovation potential.”

EMS also offers DC and BLDC motors from leading manufacturers including NIDEC, KAG, and Bühler motor. Visit EMS at Engineering Design Show at stand E55.
