Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

An incremental rotary encoder converts angular motion or the position of a shaft to either analog or digital code. Incremental encoders are often used in feedback systems. These encoders translate ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

POSITAL has upgraded the performance of the PROFINET communications interface for their IXARC series of absolute encoders. The speed of the interface has been increased, reducing cycle time by a ...
