NotesEditor's Note

Dear Reader

Our engineers have been hard at work improving tools for educators and researchers - making them more durable, powerful, energy-efficient and compact. We've even enhanced our demonstration of QUARC software. To kick off 2010, we would like to give you a sneak peek into what we're engineering in our "gadget room". 
 
We hope you will find our latest innovations useful in helping you achieve success in 2010.
 
Sincerely,

Focus on Innovations: Peak into our Gadget Room

Innovations 2010It is no secret technology evolves with tremendous speed. Incorporating the latest technology into engineering courses can be challenging for educators, but Quanser can help. Academics ourselves, Quanser appreciates the need for careful budgeting, modular design and multiple uses for one workstation. Our innovative new products offer just that. Learn what's being engineered in our "gadget room". Read about upcoming productson our engineering blog.
QUARCFocused on QUARC
Test Drive QUARC with a Virtual Plant

Virtual Plant Simulation - Inverted Pendulum
No hardware? No problem. At last, you can experience the real power of QUARC 2.0 and see for yourself why this control design software is the engine for thousands of engineering departments around the world. So how exactly can you test drive QUARC's capabilities? Simply request a demo. The demo simulates Quanser's popular Rotary Self-Erecting Inverted Pendulum experiment with SRV02. The plant's dynamics and control is presented in 3D and in real-time. You will also experience the powerful visualization capabilities of QUARC. Visualization is a free feature included with any licenses purchased before April 1, 2010.  
Request a free 30-day QUARC demo today
. Or enquire about a license.

Quality in Motion

Micromo Motor used in HD2When designing devices where precision and accuracy are vital, Quanser selects only top quality parts. That's why Quanser uses MicroMo motors. MicroMo Electronics Inc. specializes in micro motor and encoder technology that distiguishes Quanser's plants in terms of quality and durability. Educators appreciate the linear properties of these motors. At the research and industry level, combining our technology with MicroMo's has brought Quanser's haptic devices to the forefront of precision "feel" technology.
