Linear and rotary feedback for medical imaging solutions [VIDEO]
There’s no room for error in medical imaging. Precise images and patient comfort depend on reliable and resilient motion control. That’s why machinery builders turn to the HEIDENHAIN Family of Brands time after time for solutions and advice. Using a CT scanner as an example, we take a quick look at some ways HEIDENHAIN linear […]
How interface electronics are enabling Industry 4.0
Just like encoders and motors have had to advance to meet the demands for higher throughput and smaller products, so have the interfaces they use to communicate. Automating production ultimately depends on the fast and accurate transfer of data. And the intensely competitive race to digitize and gather actionable data has put added emphasis on […]
