Robotic Liquid Handling: Lab Automation with Micro-Stepping Motors

Jonas Proeger & Spencer Horowitz, Trinamic Motion Control

Medical testing, analytical chemistry and biological experimentation are three
critical life science applications that require repeated pipetting on a daily basis.
Pipetting is the process of suctioning (or aspirating) a small amount of liquid into
a syringe, moving the sample to another receptacle, and then dispensing the
sample in precise quantities into the second receptacle. <read more>

Motor & Drive Systems 2016
January 21-22
Jacksonville, Fla.

 

Motor & Drive Systems 2016 will host several workshops on January 20th. They provide an in-depth educational experience, with valuable information for both the new and seasoned engineer. Register early for discounted rates. Seating in each workshop is limited and they have historically sold-out.

 

Five Key Motor Technologies: How the Motor And the Motor Drives Work Together
The greatest impact on the performance and application range of electric motors has been the develop­ments in motor drives. Not to be ignored are the advances in magnets, material and motor design that directly contribute to better motor performance.

 

Si and SiC Power Module Technology & Motor Drive Application Considerations
High power semiconductor modules are the workhorse power switch for motor drive applications. This four hour workshop will discuss the issues a designer must deal with in using these devices including interpretation of device ratings, gate drive requirements, and providing device and system protection.

 

Which Motor to Use for Your Application
There are many motor choices today for the designer to choose from, especially for automotive system, integrated electrical hand tools but also for many industrial applications. This workshop is designed to assist the designer and project manager to evaluate these available motor technologies and compare performance, size, weight and cost to select the technology that will be the best match for the specific target application.

 

Magnetics Bootcamps
The Bootcamp Workshops focus on the basics of Magnetics. If you need to understand magnets better for your job, want to get more from the conference presentations or are new to the field, then Basic – Bootcamp I is the right place to start. Assumes that one has little or no background in magnetics. The Bootcamp I workshop will cover the fundamental magnetic concepts such as hysteresis, what is magnetism, units, basic processing, magnetizing and thermal effects. If something more advanced is what you are looking for, attend Bootcamp II. Assumes someone has either taken a previous Bootcamp, (Bootcamp I), or has some basic technical understanding of magnetics.

 

Basic Principles Motor Drives & Motion Control
This introductory course is to provide fundamental concepts of motor control. The objective of this course is for motor drive designer, application engineers as well as marketing and management professionals who want to learn fundamental principles and basic knowledge on electromagnetic torque production theory, construction and operation of DC, PM brushless, Switched Reluctance, and Induction motors.

 

Field Oriented Control and Advanced AC Motor Control Algorithms
This course will provide in-depth knowledge and skills in control algorithms and software to design high performance AC motor drives and control systems.

 

Motor Manufacturing Methods: Putting Theory into Practice
There is no “best way’ to manufacture a motor. So what are the choices and their ramifications? The aim of this tutorial is to collect and review in one place the large variety of methods and options used in today’s motor manufacturing technology, plus some key technical and tolerance issues that create particular challenges.



Magnetics16Magnetics 2016

January 21-22
Jacksonville, Fla.

 

This two-day conference is a leading global event focused on the latest economic developments and technical advancements in magnetics markets and technologies bringing together worldwide magnetics experts. This is a once-a-year opportunity for professionals involved in magnetics technologies to learn the latest advancements in magnetic applications, technology and materials as well as global issues of supply, demand and pricing of magnetic materials.

 

Magnetics 2016 will focus on the latest advancements in magnetic applications, technology and materials. Serving OEM developers of products that utilize magnets and magnet systems, design engineers, OEM developers involved in EMC technology and magnetic effects, magnetics manufacturers and integrators, and material suppliers in the magnetics industry.
