Rotary encoders are indispensable tools for providing position feedback in many motion-control and automation processes. Lifts, overhead monorails, automated storage and retrieval systems, and cranes ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Mini 24 V Servo Actuator with Dual Absolute Encoder and Panel Mount Connectors Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

(Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages ...

BEDFORD, Mass. — Celera Motion, a business unit of Novanta Inc., announced new sizes and capabilities for its Aura TM Absolute Chip Encoder Series of rotary and linear optical encoders with MicroE ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...

KBC TOOLS & MACHINERY is offering absolute encoders with digital read outs (DROs) that allow machine operators to read the position where machining stops, even when the power is turned off or lost ...

Sanyo Denki Co. Ltd. is using the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA in Sanyo’s new RA035 position-detection device (encoder) for servo motors in industrial applications. The 600,000-gate AFS600 device ...
