The New SMAC LBS17 Offers Accuracy Down to the Nanometer
The LBS17 electric actuator with no backlash is ideal for precision lens focusing.
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA - SMAC Moving Coil Actuators has introduced details for their new LBS17 series linear slide actuator with no backlash. The LBS17 was designed for biotech and science scanning and lens adjustment applications, as a cost-effective alternative to ball-screw/servo/stepper motor solutions.
LBS17 Series Linear Slide Actuator Specs:
• Stroke: 5 mm
• Encoder Resolution: 5µm (standard), 1µm, 0.1µm, and 0.05µm (optional)
• Peak Force: 13.5 N @ 24VDC, 1.4A
• Moving Mass: 0.028 kg
• Total Mass: 0.220 kg
• Cycle Life: > 100 million
The LBS17 features a cross roller guide, a 0.1 micron encoder (other options available) and was developed utilizing SMAC's new "MCA Inside" technology, which was designed specifically as a drop-in replacement of ball screw actuators, using superior electric voice coil technology.
Applications that have been served best using the LBS17 include scanning, lens focusing, and vision positioning.
SMAC's built-in feedback system gives SMAC's devices the unique mechatronic ability to "perform a task and verify its quality at the same time." This would allow the actuators to quality check key processes 100% in real time and feedback the results.
SMAC Moving Coil Actuators is primarily known for their precision actuators with unique capabilities such as programmable and controllable position, velocity, and force, high accelerations, cycle life well over 100M, and a patent-pending "Soft-Land" capability for handling delicate parts, performing fragile part assembly, measurement, etc.
SMAC actuators incorporate programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback. This makes them ideal for a wide range of positioning, measuring, and inspection applications, particularly where 100% verification is required.

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.
