Circle 600. Motion control system. The IMMC24x is a low-cost precision motion controller plug-in module with a footprint of only 64 x 64 mm. It can control DC brushless, inductance and step motors. Its embedded software includes TML high level graphical motion control language. The system also features analog inputs for current and voltage sensors, as well as direct encoder interface. The IMMC24x has been designed specifically as a plug-in module to the power amplifier interface board or your host board. The MC-Bus provides the required structured hardware for this interface. Through this structure the motion controller can be integrated with the amplifiers for different motor technologies and software configured for them. The interface to the host does not need to be changed to switch motor technology on a particular axis. It operates on a single 5VDC power supply.

Aluminum coating. Al-Coat is a dense, non-magnetic, chromium
alloy composition coating developed for aluminum. Its extremely hard, Rc 72 surface
provides a combination of bearing-type properties, low frictional coefficients, longer
wear-life and corrosion protection. The coating is a non-reflective matte that is smooth,
continuous in appearance and thickness, and free from blisters, pits, nodules, porosity
and edge build-up. Electrolizing, 20 Houghton St, Providence, RI 02904.

Temperature indicator. The Monitor Mark line of threshold
indicators are monitoring tools that provide a permanent visual record if temperature
exposure exceeds a threshold temperature. The small, adhesive-backed indicator is
available in five response temperatures and is accurate to ±1°C. These indicators are
activated by pulling the separation film and have a two-year shelf life. Telatemp,
351 S Raymond Ave, Fullerton, CA 92831. 800-321-5160. 
Printer sub-assemblies. KBT sub-assemblies can be mounted
vertically or horizontally, on a stationary bracket or a slide rail. The paper roll can be
positioned under or behind the mechanism, or at a 45° angle, providing installation
flexibility. The KBT is available in 60, 80 and 112mm paper widths. The unit has a power
consumption of 24VDC @ 1.8 A. Seiko Instruments, 2990 W Lomita Blvd,
Torrance, CA 90505. 800-553-6570. 
Actuator. The Robotte family of actuators combines a
high-performance ball screw with a spline mounted on a single hollow shaft. The resulting
screw shaft can move in both straight and rotating directions, offering versatile and
compact actuation. It is ideal for the manufacturing of medical devices and can be used in
a wide variety of robots including SCARA, Cartesian and desktop types. NSK Precision
Products Division, 250 Covington Dr, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. 800-255-4773. 
Lighting units. Series PL lighting units are UL 1571 listed
for nonhazardous locations. They offer glare-free illumination of the interior of normally
enclosed containers. The PL series features a high-intensity halogen lamp in a dust- and
water-tight cast aluminum housing. Lighting units mount to the upper sightglass flange,
completely independent of process pressure 
Miniature valve coupler. The MYU Cupla line of double shut-off
couplers features an outer diameter of 0.375 in. The miniature coupler offers a large flow
capacity for its size, as well as quick and easy tube connection/disconnection. It
connects with a simple push of the plug into the socket. And, using the ball lock system,
disconnection requires only one hand. They are ideal for applications in appliances that
use air, water or gas. Nitto Kohki USA, 4525 Turnberry Dr, Hanover Pk, IL
