Robotics
Robots have become an indispensable part of everyday life. As fast and tireless helpers, they take on otherwise monotonous and strenuous human tasks in manufacturing and logistics, including assembly processes, the transport of goods, and heavy lifting. Robots are also used in ever more demanding fields, including large component assembly for aircraft fuselages or as cobots in direct collaboration with humans. HEIDENHAIN, AMO, NUMERIK JENA, RENCO, and RSF offer optimal encoders for all robotics applications.
Dual encoders and secondary encoders for greater accuracy in advanced robotics
Motor feedback and position measurement all in one
The KCI 120 Dplus dual encoder provides motor feedback and position measurement in a single device. Installed downstream from the gear system, it enables the compensation of design-related inaccuracies in dynamic robots, such as joint elasticity, zero-position error, reversal error, and machining effects. The encoder’s purely serial EnDat 2.2 interface with functional safety permits deployment in applications such as human-robot collaboration.
