Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of types that work with different kinds of motion with different options for how they detect and communicate. Let’s explore some of the foundational elements and variables in the world of encoders: What Does an […]

Moving machine applications require highly specific encoders capable of fulfilling a wide variety of requirements. Accuracy and reliability aren’t the only ones.

Electronic components in a new hyperspectral satellite are mounted in an exceedingly compact space using HEIDENHAIN LIP 581 linear encoders and POSITIP 880 digital readout.

EnDat 2.2 is well known as a digital, bidirectional interface for encoders. It is capable of both transmitting position values from encoders as well as updating information stored in the encoder. However, over the years, EnDat has evolved to new heights and there are features today that may be surprising to some.

ACU-RITE digital readouts (DROs) provide increased productivity and a positive return on investment (ROI). They increase accuracy and part tolerances during daily machining projects.

HEIDENHAIN’s new LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system is useful in machine feedback applications where very constant speed control is needed or high position stability at standstill is important.

ETEL is proud to announce their newest line of motion control electronics: the AccurET VHP (Very High Performance) controllers.

HEIDENHAIN now offers the new ECA 4000 absolute angle encoders for applications where angular measurement in the range of a few angular seconds is required.

HEIDENHAIN updates its successful angle kit encoder line again by modifying the ECA 4000 angle ring encoder series for use in safety-related applications.
