Linear Positioning Stage with Absolute Encoder, Frictionless Motor and Excellent Guiding Precision

Published

PI’s new ultra-precise linear motor stages are well-suited for industry and research with applications in scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment

AUBURN, Mass., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 – a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

Excellent Guiding Precision – Geometric Performance
Equipped with high-precision crossed-roller bearings installed in a proprietary process, these stages achieve excellent geometric performance: the 130mm variant, for example, features 1.2µm straightness and flatness over the full travel range, along with pitch and yaw of only 45 and 40µrad, respectively.

High Velocity – High Duty Cycle – 3 Travel Ranges
The V-574 linear motor stages are offered with 60mm, 130mm, and 230mm travel range.

Three-phase ironless, cog-free linear motors transfer their force directly and friction-free to the motion platform eliminating backlash and play that can occur with screw-driven stages. The V-574 stages achieve velocities up to 1m/sec and 1g acceleration, while the brushless motors are maintenance-free, ensuring longevity in demanding 24/7 operations.

Choice of Three Optical Encoders for Incremental and Absolute Measuring
Three encoder choices are available, two sine/cosine encoders for traditional motion controllers and an absolute encoder with BiSS-C transfer protocol. The absolute encoder achieves 1nm resolution and transmits the current stage position to the controller immediately after power up – no referencing required and no possibility to lose encoder counts in electrically noisy environments.

What’s the Benefit of Linear Motors?
Mechanically, the V-574 series features ironless non-cogging linear motors which allow for very smooth motion, and a high dynamic velocity range along with rapid acceleration. They are ideal for applications where high or extremely constant velocity is required, such as in optics inspection, metrology, photonics, interferometry, and semiconductor test equipment. The frictionless, zero-wear motor drives are also popular in fast automation applications, where reliability and maximum uptime are crucial.

Tulufan, Xinjiang: For the first time, a new energy plant and station has achieved “all-green electricity” operation

Published

on

By

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
