Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...
• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.
Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...
HEIDENHAIN’s new LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system, consisting of a scanning unit and glass scale, has the unusual capability to measure to 2 nm resolution with high speed of 4m/sec at long ...
Across the world of traditional piezo nanopositioning, ranges of motion are restricted to just a few 100 microns and sensors, including capacitance displacement gauges. They are typically regarded as ...
(Nanowerk News) PI is offering the new V-417.336025E1 long travel linear motor stage, providing 32 inches of travel (813mm). The direct drive stage achieves high velocities to 79”/sec (2m/sec) based ...
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 ...
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 ...
