Physik Instrumente to host free precision automation conference
Physik Instrumente (PI) has issued an open invitation to leading technology organisations focused on precision automation to attend a free conference entitled Precision automation for the future, improving speed, accuracy and throughput.
The one-day event, taking place at PI's Cranfield office on the 5th of June 2019, and repeated on the 6th, will give delegates the opportunity to learn from key opinion leaders in the industry and network over lunch with like-minded individuals working in the sector.
The demand for automation solutions that deliver increased precision, productivity and quality in manufacturing processes is growing. Close harmony between the mechanics, control architecture and peripheral devices is essential for optimised speed, accuracy and repeatability in applications where multi-axis precision motion is fundamental. Operating real-time networks, using sophisticated control algorithms, and optimising complex mechanical designs, are just some of the things that need to be considered. This event will explore different aspects of precision automation, using case studies and practical demonstrations to demonstrate what is possible today, as well as discussing future applications of the technology.

The deadline for reservations is the 21st of May 2019.
Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
