Next Generation RSF Kit Angle Encoder Introduced
Schaumburg, IL (August 2019) – RSF Elektronik is now offering a next generation kit angle encoder for motion feedback best suited for applications in robotics, semiconductor, medical and machine tool. Offered through parent company HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in North America, this new encoder is available in both absolute (MCR 15) and incremental (MSR 15) versions. Both […]
ETEL Adds EtherCat to AccurET Controls
Schaumburg, IL (August 2019) – Available in North America from HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is a new version of the ETEL-brand AccurET controls with EtherCAT compatibility. As EtherCAT communication moves from “mid-end” automation to more high-end machine control applications, demand for this has been increasing. With that in mind, ETEL now allows its product users to take […]
Different Types of Encoders and Their Applications
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 […]
Interface Diversity Standardizes Drives
Moving machine applications require highly specific encoders capable of fulfilling a wide variety of requirements. Accuracy and reliability aren’t the only ones.
Precise Satellite Positioning to the Nearest Micron
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.
The Truth about EnDat
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.
Increase Productivity and ROI with ACU-RITE DROs
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.
LIP 6000: High Tech in a Small Package
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.
