MackINDY
Unlike the MACK DRIVE multi-axis servo drive range, the AXOR’s MACK Indy is designed with low axis count applications in mind. The drives are designed for a direct-on-line 230Vac, 50/60Hz single phase input and don’t require an expensive 24Vdc power supply for the logic circuit. The MACK INDY range is complemented by a range of 10 […]
MackDRIVE + MackPOWER
The MACK system is based on a linked, modular design, with no fixed mechanical connection between the modules. All connections are over link-cables. EMC line filter, in-rush and regen circuits are all provided on the MACK POWER module and shared by the connected MACK DRIVE units. Standard Features • Several DRIVES powered by one […]
Axor’s Mack Drive reduces costs with compact, centralised control
The innovative new MACK drive system, from Axor Industries, reduces cost by sharing the incoming supply across multiple axes, removing the need for filtering, power conversion and regeneration circuitry on individual drives, and reduced processor costs due to centralised control. The MACK system is based on a linked, modular design, with no fixed mechanical connection between the modules. All […]

What do the modern 4 to 20mA loop and a pneumatic control system have in common?
The 4 to 20mA loop is currently the most common signal standard in modern use, but inherent within it is the ratio of 1:5 that was present in old pneumatic control systems. In the 4 to 20mA loop 4mA represents 0 and 20mA is 100%. On this scale 12mA, the halfway point between 4 and […]

ICPE – ACM2n, discontinued Servo Motor still available
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been appointed by ICPE to provide sales, service and support for its popular ACM2n range of servo motors following news that some suppliers have either discontinued it or are phasing it out slowly. We will now provide the full catalogue range of products, with exactly the same electrical and […]
Factfile: when are Steppers better than Servos?
Despite many claims to the contrary servo motors do not necessarily provide the best performance on every application. The structure of a stepper motor means that its positions are made up of discrete steps in its revolution cycle. If an application requires very good stand-still stability, like the positioning of a vision system for instance, […]
Super Metering Pumps – Fuji-Techno
Super Metering Pumps are precision instruments for feeding liquids accurately, at a pre-determined volume, into a process or system. The accuracy is essential for applications such as micro-reactors and continuous flow reactors. The Fuji-Techno Industries Super Metering Pumps offer precise delivery of liquid without the occurrence of cavitations (pulsation). A specially designed cam box makes […]
Time to ditch ‘urban myth’ about British Manufacturing says EEF
Consumers are being urged to ditch urban myths and misconceptions about British manufacturing after research showed that three quarters (74%) mistakenly believe that the UK used to manufacture more goods 30 years ago (in the 80s) than it does today. The findings, released by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, reveal that while consumers are supportive of British […]
