A linear motor positioning stage has helped AmFax to deliver a compact and high-throughput vision system for the production testing of Cinch’s unique CIN::APSE connectors for state-of-the-art microprocessors.

A free HPGL interpreter for Baldor’s NextMove motion controllers reduces the development time of machinery for processing 2D shapes. As HPGL is an industry-standard protocol used in plotters and printers - and widely supported by low cost graphics and CAD software - the utility gives users a very economic basis for creating machinery for applications such as cutting, routing, engraving, etching, sign-making and glue laying.
