Kollmorgen has introduced the new SFD-M (Smart Feedback Device, Multi-Turn). It allows machine builders to achieve high-resolution multi-turn feedback with absolute positioning information available ...
Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...
Equipped with high-precision crossed-roller bearings installed in a proprietary process, these stages achieve excellent geometric performance: the 130 mm variant, for example, features 1.2 µm ...
(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 ...
The SMA21 absolute linear encoder from Lika Electronic provides fine resolution down to 1 µm and high accuracy of ±2 µm at fast speed up to 10 m/s. It is ideally suited for challenging applications ...
Aug. 17, 2023 ­- As part of its ambitious NEXTGEN initiative, encoder-maker POSITAL has introduced a major update to its portfolio of IXARC magnetic encoders. While incremental encoders based on the ...
Abstract: This paper proposes an efficient detection of absolute robot arm position using dual incremental encoders. We considers a robot joint comprising a motor, a ...
Abstract: Driving synchronous machines requires early and accurate knowledge of the absolute position of the rotor; current solutions based on resolvers, sin–cos, or absolute encoders are complex, ...
Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of tube bending machine troubleshooting articles from Jay Robinson of Robinson Bender Services and Automation Inc. “We can’t run in auto!” This was the ...
