For program controllers, an update of the German and English SEL software as well as a simulation software (V2.7.0.0) for IXA SCARA robots and CRS, the Cartesian 6-axis robot, are available for download with version V14.02.03.00.

With this update, the SEL software is compatible with the new Conveyor Control Motor (CCM) and offers an automatic servo shutdown for EleCylinder when using the RSEL controller.

The linkable RCON network controllers, the SCON single-axis controller and the MCON 1-8-axis controller now also have an optional EtherCAT Motion connection.

R-Unit is the new series of unit-connecting controllers that allows you to freely select and combine connected actuators and control methods. It saves space inside the control panel.

Numerous new EleCylinder actuators complete the existing series. These include new toothed belt axes, rotary drives, grippers and many more.

IAI opened a new showroom at its European headquarters near Frankfurt. Customers are able to see and test all of IAI's electrical automation solutions there.

You can quickly and easily calculate the cycle time of an actuator yourself based on speed, acceleration, stroke and payload. On ➥ Cycle Time Calculation calculators for various electric cylinders are available for download.

New software versions for position controller (RCM) and program controller (SEL) are now available for download.

Production that is as economical as possible thanks to more efficient drive technology is increasingly becoming one of the decisive competitive factors for many companies.
