Cam Followers Handle High Loads
In heavy-duty cam-driven machines, two common causes contribute to bearing downtime: misalignment and inadequate lubrication. Improper mounting often causes misalignment that produces thrust forces and metal contact between the bearing’s outer ring and side plate. Inadequate lubrication or failing to relubricate a cam follower that is in a hard-to-reach place can create unnecessary risk of failure.
The CR-VBS and CR-BSE IKO cam followers combat these issues. They feature a proprietary sealing technology called ThrustDisk, along with a radial gap to alleviate impact loading. The cam followers’ ability to handle thrust loads allows them to handle higher loads, while their sealing technology ensures high performance. CR-BSE bearings also come with C-Lube technology and are lubricated with a thermosetting solid-type lubricant that fills the inner space of the bearing. This lubricant helps provide long-term, maintenance-free operation.
Both the CR-VBS and CR-BSE have ThrustDisk seals made from a synthetic resin with a low wear rate. Other features include a low coefficient of friction, good rotational performance, and a hex head stud for easy mounting. Booth 556

Linear Motor Stage
Versatile LMXK linear motor stages can be combined to form cross tables, cantilever or gantry systems. When combined with E1 series drives and motion controllers, these stages deliver high performance. The stage is driven by a powerful and synchronous iron-core linear motor, providing high thrust density and low cogging force. The stage is equipped with the Q series linear guideway with SyncMotion for accurate, quiet and ultra-smooth movement. It is capable of delivering high force (308 newtons of continuous force and 868 newtons of peak force), high acceleration (50 meters per second squared without load), and high velocity (5 meters per second without load). The stage is available with stroke lengths up to 3,700 millimeters.
Three encoder options are available, including: hall effect, optical or magnetic. Additional options include aluminum protective covers, limit switches and extended lubrication. Booth 1311

Adhesive Assembles ADAS Components
Loctite Ablestik NCA 01UV is formulated for assembly of high-resolution cameras and lidar modules for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This active alignment adhesive is cured in a single step with just 3 seconds of exposure to UV LED light, eliminating the need for oven curing to save time, energy and CO₂ emissions.
With low and consistent dimensional change of 0.4 percent during cure, this adhesive can be used to assemble high-resolution camera modules. No outgassing from volatile compounds ensures high image quality and no fogging of optical components. It is free of CMT, SVHC, or any toxic substances and fully EU REACH-compliant. Booth 1616

Rotary Indexers for High Torque and Moment Loads
The X-Line rotary indexer delivers up to three times more torque and greater moment load capacity than the previous model. The indexer has a redesigned roller pinion and a larger gear pitch to handle higher torque capacities that deliver accuracy, fast acceleration, high-speed positioning, increased load capacity, and true repeatability. The indexer’s mounting features and the additional fastening points of the rigid cast housing are designed for a greater moment load capacity than a standard design. Additionally, systems can be designed for low or zero backlash to meet the project specifications. Booth 1445

Self-Adjust Tooling for Flexible Automated Assembly
This custom automated assembly system for military-grade products has the flexibility to process hundreds of part variants with no manual changeover required. Servo-actuated nests, tools, fixtures and robotic grippers with pressure-sensing feedback allow for immediate and automatic changeover between part variants. The automated flexibility is even more impressive considering the complexity and precision of the processes to assemble the product. A high-speed delta robot picks components from a custom multi-lane feeding system that uses coin-change singulation and automated inspection. Pins measuring just 1 millimeter across are automatically de-reeled and stitched into housings in precise locations. The final product is laser marked and coated with lubricant before final pack-out.

Orbitform

Servo-Driven Riveter
Orbitform offers a full line of servo-driven riveting equipment, including the PSV-1000, the largest on the market, with a peak forming force of 40,000 pounds. Utilizing servo gives manufacturers a higher level of process control with variable advance and retract rates, precise speed and position advancement, the ability to form to a force or distance, multiple programmable stop positions, and programmable dwell time.
This level of process control means manufacturers can achieve consistent, high-quality parts. Servo equipment provides stability in an assembly process without reliance on pneumatics, eliminating any precision issues caused by fluctuations in air pressure. By using the precision control of servo-driven equipment, manufacturers can form a pivoting joint to specific dimensions, check the torque, and if the torque specification is not met, repeat the forming cycle until the desired torque is reached.

Conformal Coatings Earn UL 746E Certification
Silicone conformal coatings have received UL 746E certification. Both 800-505FC UV alkoxy dual cure sprayable silicone and 500-210 general purpose conformal coating have passed the testing required to achieve UL 746E certification.
UL 746E certification is obtained after the product passes a series of tests meant to evaluate whether a conformal coating can withstand sudden electrical surges and maintain its dielectric integrity. These tests are done in succession and include voltage transient testing, dielectric withstand testing, and dielectric breakdown. In addition to the electrical testing, there is also a vertical burn flammability test. Both of conformal coatings are rated V1 for flammability.
The coating 800-505FC cures in 3 to 5 seconds upon exposure to UV light. It has a secondary, neutral alkoxy moisture cure for shadow areas that begins immediately and develops full adhesion in hours. The coating 500-210 is a clear, moisture-cured sprayable silicone that offers simple “dispense and forget” processing and tack-free performance in as little as 10 minutes.
Electronics-grade alkoxy silicones offer superior performance in harsh, demanding environments. They combine increased flexibility and high temperature resistance, offering versatility in the design and assembly process. They do not contain solvents, isocyanates, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, or xylene. Novagard silicones are also free PFAS chemicals. Booth 1816
