New RSF sealed encoders for metrology
Schaumburg, IL (May 2021) – RSF Elektronik is proud to announce the launch of a newly designed sealed linear encoder series for high-end metrology applications. Offered through parent company HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in North America, these MSA 7xx/8xx model encoders offer high quality and easy mounting ...
New compact rotary encoder for robots
SCHAUMBURG, IL (April 2021) – With its small dimensions and high reliability, HEIDENHAIN’s new KCI/KBI 1300 series of inductive rotary encoders are made specifically to support compact servomotors for collaborative and service robots. First presented at the international virtual trade show SPS in November ...
Choosing the right encoder for your robot
Efficiency is a priority for robotics requiring encoders capable of producing feedback on speed and positioning in challenging conditions. Throughput is the focus for robotics and so encoder selection is crucial for its success. Rotary or angle encoders are typically used and can be ...
New ECM 2400 magnetic ring encoder
SCHAUMBURG, IL (April 2021) – For those needing contamination-resistant encoders with functional safety (FS) for machine feedback, HEIDENHAIN introduces an absolute modular magnetic angle encoder. This new ECM 2400 encoder supplements HEIDENHAIN’s portfolio of absolute angle encoders and is designed for machine tool applications ...
New high accuracy ETEL DXRH rotary system
SAN JOSE, CA (March 2021) – With the introduction of the new high precision DXRH rotary axis system, ETEL once again offers those involved in the development and use of highly accurate semiconductor/electronics machines a new and better Theta axis option as either a ...
Exploring the sun
The Sun. It seems nearly close enough to touch and ensures that life on Earth grows and flourishes. Nevertheless, we know surprisingly little about what goes on inside this star. Solar researchers want to change that dilemma with the new DKIST solar telescope in Hawaii.
Convenient choose-a-date option for online service/support classes
By David Fuson, Service Operations Manager These past twelve months during the COVID-19 pandemic have been the most challenging for businesses that I have ever seen. Navigating how to manage in-house facilities to meeting with outside associates to supplying customers have required all of ...
RCN angle encoders smarter and faster
SCHAUMBURG, IL (February 2021) – HEIDENHAIN is proud to introduce smarter and faster versions of the RCN absolute angle encoders series for use in machine tools requiring high speed, accuracy and contamination resistance. The new models RCN 2001, 5001 and 8001 are especially useful with ...
New LIC 3100 expands kit encoder series
SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 2021) – HEIDENHAIN is proud to introduce a new high accuracy motion feedback encoder that can now be used for absolute positioning in machines in the semiconductor, metrology and robotic industries. This new LIC 3100 absolute kit encoder is an additional ...
Inductive vs. optical vs. magnetic encoders: how to choose
Where magnetic encoders use positive and negative poles and optical encoders use light passing through a disc, inductive encoders are a little more complicated. Inductive encoders have charged coils that are passed over by a passive disc, modulating what charges the sensor receives. There ...
