AZ Series – Hybrid Stepper Motors with Mechanical Absolute Encoder The AZ Series combines hybrid stepper motor technology with a built-in, battery-free mechanical multi-turn absolute encoder (ABZO sensor). This enables absolute positioning over ±900 (or ±1,800) revolutions without the need for external sensors. Motors run open-loop under normal operation for smooth, vibration-free motion and switch automatically to closed-loop control under load changes to ensure reliable positioning without loss of synchronism. Key Features • Integrated STO function for AC and DC input voltage drivers (depending on model) • Battery-free mechanical multi-turn absolute encoder (ABZO) integrated as standard • Absolute positioning range: ±900 (standard) or ±1,800 (extended) revolutions • Open-loop operation for quiet running; closed-loop engagement for overload conditions • Frame sizes: 20 mm, 28 mm, 42 mm, 60 mm, and 90 mm • Gearhead options: spur gearheads, planetary gearheads, Harmonic Drive® • Wide variety of actuators available: linear actuators, rotary actuators, grippers, and more • Control flexibility: pulse-direction input, digital I/O, or fieldbus communication (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus RTU) • Integrated monitoring and diagnostic functions for reliable system operation • Optional electromagnetic brake for holding loads in vertical applications

With the new practical DHS-150 door handle system, the slimline AZM150 solenoid interlock from Schmersal is now even easier to use. The ergonomic DHS-150 avoids the need for a separate door handle and is suitable for machine enclosures or fencing and for all standard aluminium profiles with a width of 40 mm. The robust door bolt is particularly useful on heavy swing doors and in for use in harsh environments. One benefit of the new accessory is that the actuator is pre-positioned by the bolt in the DHS system, thus ensuring its optimal insertion into the device. This gives the system stability against lateral forces. In the event of lateral forces on interlocks that cannot be overcome, the safety door will not be opened – thus causing delays in the production process. In this regard, the DHS-150 door handle system, in conjunction with the AZM150 solenoid interlock, contributes to improved system availability. In addition, the DHS-150 door handle system is also equipped with an integrated locking device (LOTO). This locking tag function protects operating staff from mistakenly being locked inside larger, walk-in systems and machines while they are performing servicing and repair work. The locking device ensures that the door of the protective device cannot be closed and unintentional machine start-up is prevented. The AZM150 solenoid interlock has an interlocking force of 1500 Newtons and is characterised by a slimline, space-saving design. In addition, it can be combined with three different actuators for different attachment situations. A positive of the interlock is the rotating actuator head which can be locked with ease by simple placement on the cover, rather than being bolted into place. The rotating actuator head with its two insertion slots enables various installation positions and actuating options and makes the interlock particularly versatile in use.

With dimensions of 119.5 x 40 x 20 mm, the AZM40 is an extremely compact electronic solenoid interlock. This makes it especially suitable for small safety doors and flaps. Thanks to the 180° angle flexibility of the actuator, it can approach the AZM40 on a stepless basis, making the interlock also suitable for flaps which do not close at 90° or those that open upwards to a 45° angle. This means the angle flexibility helps the interlock easily fit into compact spaces and those which are difficult to access. The AZM40 can also be fitted to standard 40 mm profiles without projecting. “The solenoid interlock meets the requirements of many users looking for space-saving solutions, as space required is a decisive cost factor in production,” explains Stephan Frick, Product Manager at Schmersal. Despite its compact size, the AZM40 has an amazing 2000 Newton interlocking force. “An interlock must be selected to withstand the anticipated forces. With interlocking force of 2000 Newtons, users are on the safe side with respect to the recommendations in the standard,” explains Stephan Frick. Thee integrated RFID technology allows a coding level of “high”. This means the interlock offers increased tamper protection in accordance with the requirements of DIN ISO 14119. The AZM40 works on the bistable principle: In the event of a power cut, it retains the current position. This ensures safe operation, whatever the status of the machine. Even if there are hazardous run-on movements, the safety door remains safely locked in the event of a power failure. Another advantage of the bistable principle is the consistently low energy consumption, as the interlock only requires power when the door is to be locked or unlocked.

Bachmann electronic presents the new version of its software solution M-Target for Simulink®. A key highlight of M-Target 2.75 is hot-standby redundancy, which covers protection for critical applications with high availability requirements. With M-Target 2.75, developers can design and simulate their application programs directly in the graphical Simulink® environment as usual and automatically transfer them to real-time controllers—without any manual programming. Hot-standby redundancy now also enables applications to be executed in parallel on two physically separate CPU systems. In the event of an error, the standby system takes over control seamlessly, without interrupting the process or causing value jumps. This is particularly relevant for systems in harsh environments, safety-critical applications or scenarios where even short downtimes would be expensive. Redundancy extends across all system levels – from hardware to runtime software and user programs – and is fully integrated into Bachmann's engineering tools such as SolutionCenter. In addition to redundancy, M-Target 2.75 offers extended bluecom® blocks, which improve data transmission in time-critical networks. New additions include function blocks for generating, compressing, and storing WAV audio files from structure-borne noise measurement data from the AIC214 and AIC206 condition monitoring modules. In addition, errors in the logging and SVI environment have been corrected, security updates have been implemented, and support for current MATLAB®/Simulink® versions (up to 2025a) has been added. The software remains backward compatible, but requires M-Base 4.85 and the redundancy module from version 1.23R for the hot standby function. The solution can be optionally combined with the redundancy option of the atvise® scada system for high-availability visualizations.

Two new modules are available for the fieldbus connection of the new M100 control system from Bachmann electronic: In addition to the already launched EtherCAT coupler, modules for the CANopen and Profinet bus connection have been released, making it easy to implement industrial applications. With the M100 system, Bachmann electronic is consciously reducing the number of variants: instead of different module types with limited functions, a wide range of functions is available on the I/O modules. The M100 bus couplers for different fieldbus systems make these functions accessible independently of the fieldbus used, and configuration is always carried out in the same tool with the same “look and feel”. The bus couplers follow the M100 system philosophy: They offer state-of-the-art IT security, combined with durable hardware for continuous use in challenging environments and unmanned systems. LEDs provide intuitive information about overall station status. Additional fieldbus LEDs for 'RUN' and 'ERROR' show standardized colors and flashing patterns for the respective fieldbus. EtherCAT and Profinet stations receive addresses from the master during start-up. For the CANopen bus coupler, the address is still set via hardware switches. Fieldbus-related features such as bandwidth, addressing, missing station handling, or synchronization options do change. However, basic configurator operation remains unchanged and consistent. Troubleshooting information such as operating counters, diagnostic telegrams or emergency messages are provided to the fieldbus master according to the standard. In addition, further information can be collected via a local USB-C connection. Important data such as startup information, messages from the fieldbus stack, status changes in the local status machine, or changes in connection quality are stored in the logbook.

NEFF ball screw drives are the result of many decades of innovative ongoing development of the ball screw drive. We offer precision-rolled ball screw drives in all common sizes at competitive prices and in extraordinary quality. NEFF ball screws correspond to DIN 69051 and the NEFF standard (exchangeability of EFM trapezoidal nuts with ball nuts). The screws are available with customised end machining or with soft-annealed ends for further machining if requested. The high mechanical efficiency < 98 % requires a lower driving power and a significantly lower breakaway torque than with trapezoidal screw drives. Thanks to the low rolling friction and deflection systems that have been developed further over many years, Neff ball screw drives have a particularly long and reliable service life.

Our ball screws HSB-kgt® are specifically optimized for handling and automation applications, with a clear focus on smooth running performance, high dynamics, long service life, and compact dimensions for easy integration. We combine precision-rolled ball screw spindles from renowned manufacturers – some produced exclusively to our specifications – with ball screw nuts manufactured in-house from premium materials in line with the latest production standards. A consistent design across each nominal diameter ensures maximum interchangeability and simplifies maintenance and replacement.

For dynamic positioning applications Ballscrews and trapezoidal screw drives transform a rotational into a longitudial motion and vice versa. Rodriguez offers both types of threaded spindles in both metric and imperial dimensions and in all major industry standards. Thereby, ballscrews, which work with balls as rolling elements, offer a higher efficiency than trapezoidalscrews which is exposed to a sliding friction. Similarly, a ballscrew is preferably used for dynamic positioning applications during a continuous operation. Trapezoidalscrews on the other hand are ideal for slow movements or clamping tasks with a short duty cycle. Ballscrew with driven ballnut AMFH For conventional ballscrews speed is an obstacle for the implementation in many industrial applications. The longer the ballscrew spindle, the higher the risk will be that the required speed cannot be achieved due to the critical revolution-speed of the spindle. In these cases we recommend the use of a ballscrew with a driven ballnut. The combination of custom ballscrew nut, axial angular contact ball bearings and and a precision threaded nut will yield a powerful, toothed belt driven unit that delivers optimum results even at high speeds. Upon request, a corresponding drive wheel can also be integrated.
