MOOG ANIMATICS EXPANDS ACTUATOR LINE
Milpitas, CA, USA - Moog Animatics, a division of Moog Inc., has announced the release of three new high performance models to its actuator product line. These fully integrated actuators bring SmartMotor™ capabilities (ease of use, compactness and speed to market) to today's actuator applications. They are designed for precise motion, long life and minimal maintenance. Typical applications include material handling, packaging, biomedical and life sciences. See the full applications list at www.animatics.com
The new actuator lineup includes:
ROT1 rotary actuator is a belt-driven rotary stage with low backlash and high positional accuracy. It is ideal for high speed indexing and precision rotation. Available with through holes from 16 to 100 mm.
PSC / M6S actuators are belt-driven linear systems with integrated guide rails, low backlash and high traverse speeds. These actuators are ideal for moving light loads at speeds beyond the reach of ball screw actuators. Standard models are available with strokes from 150 to 3000 mm.
HBOT1 / TBOT1 belt systems use a combination of belt actuators for two-axis motion. The motors remain stationary, removing the traditional requirement for expensive cable tracks and associated high flex cabling. The SmartMotor™ simplifies this motion as it can interpret direct Cartesian coordinates and perform the transforms on the fly to create the motion and positioning required.
These Moog Animatics actuator models are shipped preassembled with the Moog Animatics SmartMotor™ selected by the customer.
"We are always looking for new ways to provide easy-to-use, highly compact motion solutions and cost-effective alternatives for our customers," says Doug Parentice, General Manager at Moog Animatics. "Our actuator product line takes maximum advantage of the intelligent features of the SmartMotor™ and offers a flexible solution for numerous applications. Our goal is to help our customers simplify their designs and get their products to market faster."

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.
