Trust Automation Contributes to the Success of MacroAir AirVolution-D

Most Powerful and Efficient HVLS Fan on the Market

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 20, 2014 -- Trust Automation, Inc., the world's leading developer of linear servo drives, creator of custom and standard high precision motion, motor control and system design as well as complete power train devices for multiple industries, today announced its successful contribution to MarcoAir's AirVolution-D containing a unique topology compact electric motor capable of handling the consistent torque requirements of a 24-foot diameter industrial fan in a gearless direct drive (D-Drive) system.


The fan delivers 50% greater continuous horsepower than current High-Volume Low-Speed (HVLS) fans on the market. D-Drive eliminates the need for a gearbox, making it 45% lighter and containing fewer moving parts. AirVolution-D is the most reliable, most efficient, lightest, quietest HVLS fan line on the market today (http://macroairfans.com/airvolutiond/).

"Trust Automation is known for its ability to design and develop custom solutions for the most difficult projects," said Dave Rennie, Vice President of Business Development. "We engineered and manufactured system solutions to contribute to an advanced technology finished product for MacroAir."

Custom Solutions Provided by Trust Automation www.trustautomation.com:

*The custom designed "donut shaped" controller/drive exactly fits the circular motor/heatsink housing
*Advanced firmware, Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and power electronics take full advantage of the unique motor topology, operating sensorlessly at high torque and very low speed
*Controller efficiencies reaching extremely high system efficiencies
*Advanced thermal management, low air flow, -10 degrees C to +60 degrees C operation
*Wide AC voltage input range of 100-600VAC, allowing a single controller design across entire range
*NEMA 67 rated drive assembly for wash-down

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
