Victor, NY - March 30, 2010 – New Scale
Technologies’ piezoelectric SQUIGGLE micro motors drive a unique
auto-tracking steerable laser range finder that
Intelligent Automation, Inc. is developing for the U.S. Army under a Broad
Agency Announcement (BAA) contract. Intelligent Automation has demonstrated a fully
functional prototype and is now working to further enhance target
tracking performance.
New Scale is a key subcontractor to Intelligent Automation in the BAA contract, and
collaborates with Intelligent Automation on research and development projects for a
wide range of applications.
"New Scale Technologies is an extremely innovative firm," said
Benjamin Bachrach, vice-president of Intelligent Automation. "Their unique line of
small size, low power consumption linear actuators is ideally suited
for many advanced applications in defense and security."
"Intelligent Automation is an exceptional R&D company responding to the complex
technological requirements of the U.S. government and commercial
clients," said Dan Viggiano III, director of the custom products
division at New Scale. "We are excited to be working with them on
critical new technologies such as this."
New Scale’s piezoelectric micro motor technology meets IAI’s
requirements for small size, lower power consumption, high
ruggedness and extreme precision. The SQUIGGLE motor is less than
half the size of other piezo motors or traditional micro motors.
Replacing traditional motors with SQUIGGLE motors allows engineers
to reduce the size and improve the performance of existing systems.
SQUIGGLE motors also allow design engineers to add motion features
into products where motion was previously not practical.
