“The biggest machine safety issue is unannounced power outages,” says Jim Marshall, of Sick Stegmann. “On startup, you need to know where axes are without physically moving them. For machine tools and ...

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

Optical encoders are nothing new; they can be found in everything from mice to printers. They’re great for allowing DC motors to know their exact position and even current direction. If this is ...

RESOLUTE encoders provide position feedback and control accuracy in Instron’s ElectroPuls systems for fatigue testing. May 20, 2015 - Instron has built a reputation as a global market leader in the ...

HEIDENHAIN is pleased to announce the addition of an exciting new product – the AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder - to its line of robust linear encoders. The AMO LMF 9310 is an excellent ...
