Question: What is a PWM 9?
Answer: The PWM 9 is a complete universal measuring unit for inspecting and adjusting HEIDENHAIN incremental linear and angle encoders.
Linear Encoders for Production – Integrated Measuring Machines
Up to now, measuring machines have operated in a largely familiar, exactly defined environment, since their performance is significantly determined by the signal quality and accuracy of their linear encoders. Now, with the trend toward production-integrated measuring machines, the measurement device in use should be clearly reviewed.
Torque in Servo Motors
When specifying servo motors for a new machine or CNC retrofit, there are many specifications regarding servo motor performance. One of the most confusing is the differing torque specifications of the motor. Torque can be specified in Newton meters (Nm) or more commonly foot pounds (lb-ft) or inch pounds (lbf-in).
Inductive Rotary Encoders for Resolver Systems with a Higher Resolution
The inductive rotary encoders of the HEIDENHAIN ExI 1100 series are now available in versions whose mating dimensions are the same as those of common types of resolvers. Depending on the respective applications and accuracy requirements, inductive or optical absolute encoders are now possible as high resolution alternatives to resolvers.
HEIDENHAIN Rotary Encoders in Elevator Technology
Every day, millions of people use elevators for transportation. Statistically speaking, every person on the earth rides an elevator once every 72 hours, and everyone considers the availability and reliability of elevators to be a matter of course.
Siemens Wind Turbines Thrive With Leine & Linde Encoders
Wind power is the fastest-growing renewable energy source in the world. Siemens Wind Power in Denmark is one of the players in the wind power industry to have chosen Leine & Linde to supply pulse encoders. After having completed many large projects and having been involved in the wind power industry for 25 years, specialist knowledge has become a highly-valued commodity.
The Scale Tape Solution for a Wide Variety of Applications HEIDENHAIN’s LIC 4000 Absolute Linear Encoder
Incorporating absolute technology to a multi-substrate scale tape linear encoder design, HEIDENHAIN introduces the versatile new LIC 4000.
An Ironless Line of Linear Motors Available from ETEL
