MicronMOTIONEERING Web-Based Gearhead Sizing & Selection Tool

June 7, 2016

Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of mechanical motion control solutions, has expanded its web-based sizing and selection tool for Micron TRUE Planetary Gearheads. The web-based MicronMOTIONEERING is a unique, application-based sizing and selection tool that quickly and easily identifies the correct planetary gearhead for your application. The improved MicronMOTIONEERING interface and expanded product offering allows users to save time and boost confidence in knowing that they’ve selected the optimal gearhead for their motion control application.

Micron planetary gearheads from Thomson are used on high precision motion control applications, such as CNC cutting, material handling and many variations of packaging equipment. These applications usually require a high torque to volume ratio, high torsional stiffness, and low backlash which are the performance advantages that the Micron products offer. The upgraded user interface was designed and tested to provide a professional user experience for design engineers. The expanded MicronMOTIONEERING now covers the full Micron offering, including the stainless steel AquaTRUE gearheads, ideal for food and packaging applications, and the XTRUE, a drop-in replacement for common gearheads in the market today.

Features:

  • MicronMOTIONEERING simplifies gearhead sizing & selection
  • User merely enters a few key application parameters to find the best gearhead for an application
  • Now easier to configure and download 3D models along with such specifications as list price, delivery time, configuration parameters, life calculations, motor sizing, etc.
