Positioning accuracy on the gripper of a robot arm

The insertion of cylindrical tools into tool holders with a robot arm was a real challenge —and therefore a task made to measure.

Measuring while well protected against dust and fluids

Playing an increasingly important role in quality control, in-process measurement is exceedingly precise while saving time and money.

TNC 640 mill-turn control offered with new touch technology

The TNC 640 is, and will only be, available with groundbreaking touch technology that supplements the TNC 640’s field-proven cycles and functions, allowing the user to operate the control screen with gestures, similar to smartphones or tablets.

Heavy-duty motion control motor needs in North America

Leine & Linde introduces a new bearingless encoder —the MRI 2850—for high horsepower electric motor applications using vector control.

HSP combats contamination in high-accuracy positioning

HEIDENHAIN’s unique new signal processing ASIC HSP 1.0 for exposed linear encoders promises to combat all kinds of contamination during operation. It's a breakthrough in position measurement for high accuracy applications such as semiconductor industry and automatic placement and measuring machines, among others.

3 biomedical engineering trends that are saving lives

From unprecedented DNA sequencing capabilities to flawless robotic surgeries and other automated treatments, doctors and medical laboratories have more life-saving innovations at their disposal than ever before.

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.

Popular LIF 400 linear encoder family enhanced

HEIDENHAIN’s LIF 400 family of encoders has been redesigned with several improvements. The updates to this exposed linear kit style encoder originated from listening to customer requests over the years, and now comes with much improved contamination resistance, among other enhancements.

HEIDENHAIN introduces new and improved DRO

HEIDENHAIN introduces the new ND 5023 digital readout (DRO) for manually operated machine tools, equipped with a new TFT color display that significantly improves the readability of the information displayed over older models, plus features other design changes and enhanced functions.
