PRODUCT BRIEFS

Touch-panel computer
Built on the NXP
i.MX6 Cortex-A9
ARM CPU and available in a Solo or
Quad-Core configuration, Technologic Systems' (Fountain
Hills, AZ) TS-TPC-7990 touch-panel
computer features the ability to provide
end-users with true, next-generation
graphical experience with high-definition
video, 2D or 3D graphics. The TSTPC-7990 comes in either a resistive or
capacitive screen, making it suitable for
any application that requires a touchbased human-machine interface (HMI),
including medical and automotive. An
onboard socket, capable of supporting
NimbeLink cellular modems, provides a
simple path to cellular connectivity for
applications such as remote equipment
monitoring and control. HALT verified at
temperatures from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F
to +158°F), the TS-TPC-7990 is an entirely fanless solid-state operation with
no moving parts.

3D PDF add-on
A 3D PDF add-on is
available to complement and enhance
Theorem's
(Staffordshire,
England) CATIA V5
to Creo View visualization product, part
of the company's
Visualize 3D range. According to
Theorem, Visualize 3D enables CATIA
V5 assembly, geometry and attribute
data, including manufacturing information, to be published in a Creo View
format, extending the use of 3D data
throughout the enterprise and supply
chain as well as providing input data for
multiple downstream processes. The 3D
PDF add-on allows CATIA V5 data to be
published to a 3D PDF, along with the
original Creo View output, from the
same CATIA V5 source.

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING

Lightweight constantvelocity joint
GKN Driveline's (Auburn
Hills, MI) VL3 constantvelocity joint system is a
lighter, more efficient
and stronger CV joint
that delivers increased torque in a more
compact design. The VL3 CV joint has
launched in its second application on the
all-new BMW 5 Series. According to
GKN, the VL3 joint makes the driveline
more efficient, with measurably reduced
CO2 emissions-an improvement in current applications. At the heart of the
advanced VL3 design is a new S-shape
track in the housing, which the company
says changes the way that the ball bearings move around. Employing GKN's
Countertrack technology, the balls are
given a wider range of movement, which
helps to balance the forces in the joint
by distributing the torque evenly between the bearings. In turn, this bolsters
the strength of the cage and improves
refinement in the joint movement.

Modular drive wallmounting kits
Siemens' (Elk Grove
Village, IL) low-cost wallmounting kits for its
Sinamics G120C and G120
PM240-2 modular drives
allow easy, fast installation
of the drives and conform
to NEMA 1 and UL Type 1
standards for interior applications. The company's wall-mount kits
are designed in accordance with UL
61800-5-1 standards for AC drives.
Available in power ranges from 0.5 to 200
hp and voltages from 230 V to 690 V, the
kits offer streamlined, compact design for
use with all drive frame sizes of the corresponding Siemens drive units. According
to Siemens, the new kits accommodate all
G120C, PM240-2 and PM240P-2 power
modules, control units and operator panels in the Sinamics drive family.
