NEW MOOG SPEED CONTROLLED PUMP SYSTEM CUTS ENERGY USE IN HYDRAULIC PLASTICS MACHINES
BÖBLINGEN, 4 November 2010 – Moog has unveiled a new pump system at K-2010 that will provide injection molding and blow molding machine builders with a motion control solution that can lower energy consumption in hydraulic machines by 30 percent or more when compared to traditional approaches and ultimately reduce the total cost of ownership. Moog, a specialist in high performance motion control for machine builders in a variety of industrial applications, is now offering a complete integrated system called the Moog Speed Controlled Pump System that is based on three of Moog’s proven products. The system includes a fixed displacement Radial Piston Pump (RKP), a Maximum Dynamic Brushless Servo Motor and a Modular Multi-axis Programmable Motion Control Servodrive (MSD). The unique functionality of this system is the ability to allow users to change the speed of the motor and pump thereby controlling the fluid flow. The resulting machine is more energy efficient and this new system also provides optimized system performance and easier setup for operators.

Bringing distinctive style to medical devices while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance
Muttenz, November 4, 2010 - In today’s competitive marketplace manufacturers must try to differentiate their product from others by improving functionality and design. Use of drug delivery devices increasingly occurs outside of a hospital setting and since it is the patient rather than a doctor who is the user, the device must be attractive as well as convenient and functional. They become more like any other consumer product. That is why color and other visual elements are increasingly important in device design.
