n Blue Diode Laser Welding
AMADA WELD TECH, Monrovia, CA, has integrated blue laser
technology into its suite of micro welding technologies for welding
highly reflective materials, notably copper. Blue lasers operate
at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm, resulting in more
efficient energy utilization, reduced heat input, reduction of
spatter, and enhanced precision in micro welding tasks. The blue
laser systems offer power levels up to 1500 W, and with capabilities
extending up 4000 W for industrial applications. Feasibility
studies can be run in the company's Western Technical Center in Monrovia. The technical
center capability includes power levels up to 1500 W and spot sizes between 200 and 500
µm in diameter.

n Advanced Actuator
maxon, Taunton, MA, has launched of a high-efficiency joint drive.
The HEJ 70-48-50 actuator caters specifically to autonomous mobile robots
operating in unstructured environments such as humanoids, quadrupeds,
exoskeletons, or mobile manipulators. The actuator delivers a
peak torque of 50 Nm and reaches speeds up to 28 rad/s while maintaining
a mass just above 1 kg. Its compact design and high torque density
make it ideal for mobile manipulation tasks, offering roboticists a
powerful yet lightweight solution.

n Reciprocating Head for Medical Tubing
A new reciprocating head for medical tubing is available
from Guill Tool, West Warwick, RI. The traditional tip-anddie
assembly is replaced with a linear reciprocating assembly
that changes the tube's profile within a given length. This
process is repeated throughout a single extrusion run without
interruptions. Cutting capability, in association with the
extrusion speed, cuts the finished product to length. The head eliminates an entire assembly
operation and eliminates in-process inventory. It eliminates a connecting piece and allows JIT
production and products made-to-order.

n Linear Voice Coil Servo Motor
Moticont, Van Nuys, CA, has released a new linear servo motor
in its GVCM-032 Series. The GVCM-032-038-02M with a
25.4 mm (1.00 in.) stroke is a compact linear servo motor with
built-in shaft and bearing and is just 31.8 mm (1.250 in.) in
diameter. The combined length with the coil end is 47.63 mm
(1.875 in.) long, and in the fully extended position, extends
28.6 mm (1.125 in.) beyond the face of the housing. The shaft
has an M2.2X0.45 × 0.20 thread, and the housing and coil ends have two M3.5X0.6 0.20
mounting holes on a 12.7 mm (0.500 in) bolt circle for easy integration into new or existing
applications.

n AI-Powered Document Summarizer
MasterControl, Salt Lake City, UT, has launched a beta
program for its AI-powered Document Summarizer. As
the third tool released in MasterControl's GxPAssist AI
suite of generative artificial intelligence applications, the
program is designed to help standardize processes and
streamline these tasks, helping users save time by instantly
generating succinct summaries, descriptions, keywords,
and change summaries while maintaining compliance
and consistency across documents and revisions. It seamlessly integrates into internal
processes such as document management. The GxPAssist AI suite is built on the company's
secure platform.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
EPOXY PASSES
ISO 10993-5
CERTIFICATION
Master Bond EP40Med
is a medical-grade, twopart
epoxy that combines toughness and a low tensile
modulus while still providing a relatively high
lap shear strength. It meets the requirements of
ISO 10993-5 testing and is therefore considered to
be non-cytotoxic. EP40Med resists sterilization to
gamma, EtO, chemicals, and liquid disinfectants.

Master Bond
n Laser Marking Systems
A laser marking system from FOBA, Selmsdorf,
Germany, is designed to help companies
reduce their environmental footprint while
producing high-quality, ecofriendly marks on
various materials. The V-Series integrates seamlessly
into existing production lines with its
compact design and flexible connectivity options,
enabling quick replacement of costgenerating
CIJ or tampon printing systems
with minimal setup modifications. It requires
low maintenance, needs no consumables, and
features UV and green lasers that create precise,
high-contrast markings on polymers (such
as ABS, PET, HDPE, and polypropylene), colored
plastics, ceramics, and metals.
