Vibrations can either be a help or a hindrance in high precision manufacturing, but whether they are your friend or enemy, they must be controlled. This is where smart actuators from CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES (distributed by ORLIN Technologies Ltd in the UK) come in. Their highly-dynamic response allows them to react to changing conditions and their compact size allow … Read more
360°R&D, the ASRC Magazine, comes back on CTEC’s new generation of Modular Tranducers (see p.8). Indeed in the framework of the SONO project (which aimed at developing a pilot line for the production of medical antibacterial textiles) CTEC has develop a new kind of transducer so called the Modular Ultrasonic Transducer MUST that can be used in various field of application like Sonochemistry, … Read more
360°R&D, the ASRC Magazine, comes back on CTEC success story relative to active control of vibration applied on a ski structure. The objective of the project was to damp the large modes of vibrations keeping the robustness of the control and the static loads during the ski ride. Vibrations up to 80mm pk-to-pk were reduced with an attenuation up to 30dB and … Read more
Air & Cosmos magazine from April 2015 comes back on CTEC notoriety and know- how in compact, dynamic and precise mechatronic solutions. Most of our piezoelectric and magnetic actuators available as standard products have been initially developed for space applications, using ESA ECSS design rules. They have been qualified in harsh environment (vibration, shock, wide temperature range, etc) and are now used in Air, … Read more
The ASRC Magazine from June 2014 comes back on CTEC notoriety in piezoelectricity. CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES piezo actuators have been initially developed to meet the most severe requirements of the French and European space agencies (CNES, ESA), for static and dynamic applications. As shown in this press release CTEC products and technologies also meet many requirements in optic, scientific or medical instrumentation, … Read more
The Micronora Informations Magazine comes back on the New piezo motor SPA30uXS developer kit released by CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES. This Developer kit offers the possibility to discover the potential of the SPA30uXS, smallest existing SPA, in stepping mode. With an external dedicated miniature driver (SPC45), and coupled to a high resolution magnetic sensor, the Developer kit is a fully closed-loop … Read more
