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 solution for high resolution millimetric motion.

In this issue dedicated to “Les Rendez-vous Carnot”, the Impact Innovation magazine highlights the partnership between CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES and the CETIM in the AVIBUS R&D project (Drilling with Vibration Assistance by Piezoelectric Actuators).

Seeing interest in this project, the CETIM accepted in 2009 the proposal of CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES to become a member. Ugo Masciantonio, project engineer for the CETIM, comes back on this fruitful partnership and underlines the efficiency of CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES to assume the overall management of the project and its technical commitments.

The NASA Goddart Space Flight Center (GSFC) just starts to publish the details of the next rover to be sent on Mars end of 2009:

CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES has delivered the flight units (Amplified Piezo Actuators already qualified under French Space Agency (CNES) contracts) to GSFC by Mid 2007.

The SAM instrument is now ready for flight and is being delivered to NASA/JPL by Mid 2008.

The purpose of the piezoelectric actuator is to vibrate the Solid Sample Inlet Tube, between each analysis to clean it.
