New miniature incremental optical encoder is first with filtering optics
Renishaws new ATOM non-contact optical linear and rotary incremental encoder system combines miniaturization with leading-edge dirt immunity, signal stability and reliability. With a readhead as small as 6.7 x 12.7 x 20.5 mm, ATOM is the worlds first miniature encoder to use filtering optics with Auto Gain Control (AGC) and Auto Offset Control (AOC) for […]
Piezoelectric Positioners offer Precise Control in Nanopositioning Applications
By Stefan Vorndran and Scott Jordan, PI, Physik Instrumente L.P. Ever-increasing requirements for more precise motion control has forced manufacturers of piezoelectric positioners to find ways to overcome their limitations, such as travel range and linearity, while preserving the unmatched speed, reliability and resolution capabilities of piezoelectric devices. Precision motion control in general, and nanopositioning […]
