Right-Angle Brushless DC Gearmotors New type 34B4/FV-5N gearmotors combine Bodine’s 34B brushless DC motor with a compact right-angle gearhead, a built-in PWM speed control, and an optical encoder. Together, they create a high-performance drive package that radically simplifies design, wiring, and assembly. The 24 VDC 34B/FV-5N gearmotors are ideal for a wide range of low-voltage applications in medical equipment, pack- aging machines, conveyor systems, printing equip- ment, and factory automa-
tion. The gearmotors are also suitable for portable or remote applications where connection to an AC line is not possible. The brushless DC motor is virtually maintenance-free, elimi- nates brush wear, brush maintenance and carbon dust. Bodine Electric Co. Ph: 773-478-3515

ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com | January 2014 Inspection Software
In-Sight Explorer 4.9 software offers an expanded set of inspection tools and an enhanced Cognex Connect communi- cations suite featuring the iQ Sensor Solution network (iQSS). The surface-flaw tool simplifies the detection of surface de-
fects such as scratches, discoloration, burn/black spots, label wrinkles, small dents, tears or pinholes. The scene-correction filter balances images with uneven illumination to help present the defect detection tools with evenly lit images. Cognex Corp. Web site:

Rotary Head Cutting Tube Machines
Advantage series ro- tary head machines for cutting tube and pipe are available in two sizes: a two- slide cutoff with a 17-kW motor and a four-slide cutoff with a 24-kW motor. Both offer high cutting speeds and feed rates and can process tube diameters from 89 to 219 mm and wall thickness up to 20 mm. The cutting tool rotates around a stationary tube or pipe vs. lathe-style cutting machines that spin the pipe. This approach reduces eccentric load on the machine, allowing for faster cutting
