Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

How to substantially reduce encoder cost while gaining functionality with 44-Turn multi-turn rotary position sensors—retaining count and position during power loss.

HEIDENHAIN’s family of KGM grid encoders have once again been improved to better meet the needs of CNC-controlled machine users who require accuracy testing. Now the KGM 281 grid encoder is available ...

With a robust 1-Vp-p interface, the LS 688C linear encoder has a scanning carriage that rides on ball bearings, resulting in strong rigidity in the measuring direction, as well as backlash and ...

The encoders’ special properties are that they have a very compact design, excellent signal quality and therefore high interpolation rates, as well as excellent thermal position stability. The ...

Addman Advanced Metals has scaled from a single 3D printer to 25 while also building out a robust array of subtractive machines. In this video, find out how the shop manages its additive and ...
