■ Torque Sensor
A multi-axis torque sensor from FUTEK, Irvine, CA, is ideal
for robotic arm applications that require high precision and
control, i.e., surgical robotics. Engineers can utilize strain wave
gearing (also known as a harmonic strain wave drive) to im prove
the robot's performance. The sensor reduces the inertia of the robot arm and improves dynamic performance
through faster acceleration and faster settling time. It offers very low backlash and highreduction
ratios in a single stage, increases payload capacity, and reduced power requirements.

■ Rocker Isolation Valve
Emerson, St. Louis, MO, has introduced a rocker isolation valve
designed especially for fluid control manifolds. The compact ASCO
series 062 valves are 16 mm, which allows for easy integration into
complex fluid-handling manifolds. It also offers two-way and threeway
functionality. The easy-to-flush special rocker mechanism, combined with a separating
diaphragm, prevents heat transfer to in-vitro diagnostic reagents and eliminates the potential
for sticking and clogging of the valve seat.

■ Assembly System
A mounting system for machine vision applications from
autoVimation, Berlin, Germany, is suitable for installing cameras,
lighting, and lasers in cleanrooms. The Hygienic Building Kit is based
on autoVimation's hygienic, IP69k-protected, AISI 316L stainless-steel
enclosure series. The camera, lighting, and laser enclosures are
mounted on rails made of smooth stainless-steel rods. Hygienic T-pieces enable flexible positioning
and orientation. Cable routing within the tubes ensures optimum protection against mechanical
forces.

■ End Mills
Multi-purpose high-performance end mills are available from Emuge
Franken, West Boylston, MA. Featuring unique geometry and coating, TOPCut
VAR end mills are versatile variable helix carbide mills available in four,
five, and six-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball
nose, stub, standard, and long lengths in inch sizes. Custom variations or
tool modifications are also available. Variable helix angle flutes provide extensive vibration dampening
and are precision ground with advanced edge preparation to maximize chip evacuation.

■ Lithium-Ion Batteries
Green Cubes Technology, Kokomo, IN, offers modular lithiumion
batteries for medical and industrial mobile workstations.
These battery modules simplify transportation and disposal of
lithium-ion batteries. The patented batteries use battery modules
to build a scalable power system within the base of a mobile workstation.
This modular approach enables the workstation operator
to select multiple increments of battery power for the workstation, physically ship battery modules
using less restrictive Department of Transportation (DoT) regulations, and more easily dispose
of the battery modules once they reach their end of life.

■ Model Manager
COMSOL, Burlington, MA, has released version 6.0 of its
Multiphysics® software. The release introduces the Model Manager,
a new workspace in COMSOL Multiphysics that enables efficient simulation
data management and collaboration. Also introduced is the

Cov
Uncertainty Quantification Module, an add-on product that uses probabilistic design methods
to quantify uncertainty in analyses and predetermined safety margins. The version introduces
improvements to the solvers with performance speedup by a factor of 10 in engineering areas
such as heat radiation and models subjected to nonlinear structural material behavior.
