The ANS/ANM58 Profinet from Sick Sensor Intelligence delivers rapid, bi-directional communication with PLCs. The design includes an improved optical measurement system for high precision movement ...

Lika Electronic offers a comprehensive range of housed and unhoused absolute modular encoders. These encoders excel in their miniature size, minimal weight, and high resolution. Furthermore, both the ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...

Kollmorgen has introduced the new SFD-M (Smart Feedback Device, Multi-Turn). It allows machine builders to achieve high-resolution multi-turn feedback with absolute positioning information available ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

Rather than designing your own robotic joint by purchasing a series of components, integrating them to provide their best features and coming up with a mounting structure that takes into consideration ...

Manufacturers need encoders, but they don’t really want to think about them. Encoders are arguably one of the most necessary sensors in manufacturing, but many aren’t sure what to consider when ...
