In a motion system, position sensors can be crucial to ensure safety. Particularly in applications working in close proximity to humans, such as surgical robots, or even where sensitive equipment has to be protected, position feedback is key.
12th December 2023
Linear motion specialist, Tolomatic, has extended the capability of its twin profile rail linear stage actuator. The new TRS 225 doubles the maximum stroke length, now up to 2,200 mm, and boosts maximum load up to 1,960 kg.
30th November 2023
Kollmorgen has introduced the P80360 stepper motor drive, which offers real-time position correction thanks to closed-loop operation. The new drive provides versatile programming capabilities with extended positional control, while closed-loop feedback ensures improved reliability and efficiency.

In a world where 37% of global energy consumption stems from industrial processes[1], the shift toward battery-powered equipment has never been more critical. This transition is driven by the dual demands of enhanced efficiency and sustainability. Central to this challenge is the selection of a motor – the heart of any industrial equipment – that not only meets stringent performance requirements but also optimises battery life for prolonged, effective operation.
17th August 2023
Kollmorgen has released the new AKMA servo motor for medium to heavy duty washdown applications, including food & beverage, as well as outdoor use. Supplied in the UK by INMOCO, the new anodised aluminium servo motor is highly durable and provides high resistance to corrosion.
20th July 2023
Motion control and automation supplier INMOCO is offering Celera Motion’s new Omni+ to the UK OEM market.
29th June 2023
Kollmorgen has released a new stepper drive, providing smooth motion control at both full and micro-stepping positions at up to 25,600 steps per revolution. The P80630-SDN stepper drive controls 2-phase hybrid stepper motors and features a high power density, offering up to 7.8A peak in a package just 26mm wide.
