ANCA Motion unveils the new LinX M-Series to the market at IMTS 2018
ANCA Motions LinX M-Series linear motor offers a highly dynamic and efficient automation solution for OEMs with improved performance, accuracy and reliability
September: ANCA Motion designs and manufactures flexible control systems, specialising in high precision solutions for CNC machines. Unique to ANCA Motion is the LinX M-series linear motor which is housed within a slim body, is highly energy efficient and delivers precision CNC applications or high-speed automation systems every time.
An early adopter to new technology, ANCA Motion will also reveal its Single Cable Motion System that adopts the Hiperface DSL protocol technology by using a single cable to simplify machine integration, reduce waste and offer improved diagnostics.
Naveen Nadesan, ANCA Motion Marketing Manager said: "There is a clear trend for companies to use energy in a more efficient manner. Replacing a pneumatic cylinder with a tubular linear motor reduces energy costs achieving a relatively short payback period of 6 to 12 months. The LinX M-Series linear motor therefore provides a unique benefit to OEMs seeking higher performance, accuracy and reliability in their machines."

See why the LinX motor is more energy efficient
Two LinX motors will be displayed in a V-structure parallel robot (V-Bot) arrangement showcasing
• high-speed pick and place application; and
• high precision contouring around various shapes.
The LinX M-Series is fully compatible with standard pneumatics accessories such as mounting plates, linear guides and couplings.
Single cable motion system offers significant efficiency gains
ANCA Motions Single Cable Motion System adopts the Hiperface DSL protocol technology connecting the drive to a servo motor using a single cable. The Hiperface DSL encoder technology offers significant
• savings in cabling; and
• high accuracy and precision with improved diagnostics.
Naveen concluded: "ANCA Motion offers a wide range of control systems and have more recently been working largely with laser cutting businesses, providing a complete motor solution for their machines. At the stand we will have interactive display panels and videos of laser and cylindrical grinding applications to demonstrate the breadth of our technology. Excitingly, the LinX M-series V-Bot demo unit will be unveiled at MWCS in Shanghai which is the week after IMTS."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
