With a robust 1-Vp-p interface, the LS 688C linear encoder has a scanning carriage that rides on ball bearings, resulting in strong rigidity in the measuring direction, as well as backlash and ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Large-batch production in the automotive industry is in the midst of a change. Over the past years, the purchasing ...

Axis errors rob machine tools of the necessary accuracy for the jobs to be run. Luckily, though, two common position-measuring systems prevent this from happening. However, deciding which one should ...

HEIDENHAIN’s latest generation of linear scales for position measurement on machine-tool linear axes, the LCxx6 series, are designed with an optimized internal scanning system that makes them ...

Offering high reliability and safety, the LIC 4000 series linear position encoders integrate a multi-substrate scale tape with absolute encoder technology, which provides position immediately at ...

SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

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 ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
