The A6 series has been improved further. At the same time compatibility with the A5 series has been maintained. Thanks to the split core structure and a new housing we have been able to reduce not only the length by 30%, but also the weight by up to 10%. Even the encoder design has been made more compact. An open serial communication protocol (RS232 or RS485) The 20-bit MINAS A5 encoder (1048576 pulses per revolution = ppr) has been upgraded to 23 bit (8388608 ppr). Consequently the resolution of the new A6 series has been improved eightfold. The new servo motors come with an even faster velocity response (3.2kHz), which means that the driver can react even faster. In addition, micro vibrations have been reduced considerably thanks to an improved reaction of the current regulation and linearity.

To do this Rainbow have assembled a team of very experienced engineers at their base in Glasgow. As the PCB arm of the business grows, with the majority of sales in Asia where volume manufacture takes place, Rainbow have also been taking on projects closer to home, using their extensive knowledge of automation, product handling, motion control and process development to work with UK and European clients. “We have pulled together quite a unique blend of knowledge here at Rainbow” says Chris O’Brien, head of Sales and Marketing at the Scottish company. “We have excellent mechanical and electrical design capability, highly skilled equipment assembly staff, and programmers who can make it all work as required. We also have formulation chemists who can add coating and dosing experience where relevant. “To give some examples of the diverse and interesting work we get involved in: we have helped a sensor manufacturing company to pull together separate operations into an automated process line, significantly reducing defects whilst increasing throughput; we have developed a number of coating solutions for the glass and graphics markets, with bespoke equipment and coating liquids; we have redesigned a gas generation system, halving the build cost and assembly time. These have all been very different projects, but well within the capability of our team. “Rainbow Technology Systems are happy to discuss projects and give advice without obligation, get in touch to talk through your requirements.” Tel: 0141 892 3320 Email: [email protected] www.rainbow-technology.com Issue 22 PECM 79
