TT’s Cannon brand, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, offers defense and
commercial aircraft customers a robust line of interconnect solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other robotic platforms. These include circular, rectangular, filtered, fiber-optic, miniaturized, nano and high-bandwidth data and RF connectors to comprehensively meet mission requirements. “This is a very special year for Cannon, in which we mark 100 years of business and more than 60 years of service to the unmanned systems market.” said Tom Cruz, vice president and general manager, aerospace and defense, for ITT’s Interconnect Solutions business. “From the earliest UAVs to the most sophisticated platforms flying today, Cannon connectors have a legacy of delivering the capabilities unmanned systems need to succeed in their critical missions.”

H
Technology demonstrates its capability for mechatronic design and build with an EtherCAT controlled 6-axis hexapod (parallel robot) demonstration rig that comprises mechanical, electronic and software components from several of its distribution partners. The rig actually uses two hexapods – a large servo-electric actuator driven unit that can run pre- programmed motion sequences or can be configured to mirror the movement of a smaller, manually controlled, ‘joystick’ with six linear position sensors. The motorised hexapod’s top plate is thus positioned to a full six degrees of freedom to move the load (three 20-inch TFT video monitors) in translation (x, y, z) and rotation (pitch, yaw, roll). For even more visual effect, the rig has an electric ducted fan and a Bernoulli-effect blower that supports a ball throughout the movement of the hexapod. The automated hexapod uses the Stewart Platform
system to full effect with six Thomson PC-series high- precision linear actuators arranged in pairs and fixed by flexible ball-joint linkages to the mechanism’s rigid base and moving top. The actuators have large diameter ballscrew transmission with a preloaded nut arrangement for high repeatability, smooth motion and excellent repeatability. They are regularly specified for applications ranging from packaging machinery to conveying and pick-and-place systems where they replace the limited positioning capability of pneumatic actuators and their extended life, high repeatability and quiet operation provide much improved production throughput and parts accuracy.

AVT Brings AIO GVA to DSEI
DSEI bringing with them a range of products and solutions which will appeal to many customers from Land, Sea and Air sectors. Their use of technology provides solutions in a wide range of applications inlcuding various Land and Naval Programmes. At the show you will be able to see the following:-
A
• Def Stan 00-82 covers the use of streaming digital video for distribution around modern day military vehicles. They will be demonstrating the use of this technology for the acquisition of video, the processing of and re-distribution to their GVA compatible display monitors, Def Stan 23-09. These are a multi-standard solution and have the capability to support the GigE Vision standard.
• Many military applications simply require a ruggedised PC in a fixed installation. Their AIO (All In One) display monitor features an Atom GHz processor capable of running standard PC applications including touch based software and customer middleware applications.
• Situational Awareness - a current buzz-word. The VDS768P16 provides the ability to tile up to 16 analogue camera inputs. This GVA monitor provides a familiar interface required for today’s defence, land, sea and air vehicles with it's multiple I/O and the features necessary to control the dedicated functions of TIC, Gun sights and many others etc.
If your application requires a rugged display, image processing, high speed streaming, recording or distribution then drop by their stand at DSEI.

Euroquartz announces new
ultra low g-sensitivity TCXO E
uroquartz has launched a new ultra low g- sensitivity temperature compensated crystal
oscillator (TCXO) from Greenray Industries Inc. that offers superior phase noise performance. The company also announced that it has been appointed to represent Greenray Industries across Europe. The new T1241 series TCXO is designed for use in
communications, instrumentation and military applications and is available in frequencies from 50 to 100MHz. Acceleration sensitivity is ≤7x10-10/g in the worst axis (SD option) or ≤7x10-11/g (LG option) while typical phase noise ranges from - 70dBc/Hz at 10Hz offset to -160dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset. Phase noise floor is -165dBc/Hz. Housed in a 17.27mm square x 5.08mm surface
mount package, the new 1241T series TCXO features 3.3 or 5.0V DC supply voltage at 30mA maximum, an operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C and offers square wave CMOS output into 15pF load with 50% ±10% symmetry.
