Nidec Avtron Automation Launches Line of Avtron Absolute Encoders
Nidec Avtron Automation Corporation is proud to announce the launch of its new line of Avtron absolute encoders. The product offerings are available as optical or magnetic, shafted or hollow shaft, single-turn or multi-turn absolute encoders. The advantage of absolute encoders is that they retain their position even when powered off – they keep track […]
Getting accuracy out of machine tools: Linear encoders eliminate errors from thermal drift
Linear encoders help eliminate errors from thermal drift. || Dr. Jens Kummetz, R&D Manager, HEIDENHAIN, Traunreut, Germany Thermal accuracy of machine tools is becoming increasingly important considering the strongly varying operating conditions in manufacturing. Especially with small production batches that require constantly changing machining tasks, a thermally stable condition can’t be reached. At the same time, […]
