In order to meet the needs of manufacturers of small servo motors and actuators, HEIDENHAIN introduces an expansion of its small-diameter 1000 and 1100 series rotary encoders with added versions now available with Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ. HEIDENHAIN’s models ECN/EQN 1000S, ROC/ROQ 1000S and ECN/EQN 1100S rotary encoders with integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface feature a compact design with […]
Next-generation kit angle encoder for motion feedback from RFS Elektronik
RSF Elektronik’s next-generation kit angle encoders for motion feedback are best suited for applications in robotics, semiconductor, medical and machine tool. Offered through parent company HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in North America, this new encoder is available in both absolute (MCR 15) and incremental (MSR 15) versions. Both models consist of an optical scanning unit and a […]
ETEL adds EtherCAT option to its AccurET controls
Available in North America from HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is a new version of the ETEL-brand AccurET controls with EtherCAT compatibility. As EtherCAT communication moves from “mid-end” automation to more high-end machine control applications, demand for this has been increasing. With that in mind, ETEL now allows its product users to take full advantage of its line […]
New sensor measures equipment strain in harsh environments
Leine Linde’s new ESR digital strain sensor is now available to monitor structural health on equipment where needed. Offered in North America through HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION, it is coupled with an encoder using the digital interface EnDat, and offers significantly higher signal quality, accuracy and robustness when compared with conventional strain gauges. To use, simply mount […]
New online encoder selection tool from HEIDENHAIN
As part of its ongoing “Customer First” initiative, HEIDENHAIN has introduced a new multi-level online Encoder Selection Tool for automation. This new Encoder Selection Tool considers various industries and applications, and then suggests the brands with suitable options. HEIDENHAIN owns and markets position measurement components in North America from nine international companies, each with its […]
New DRO with touch screen for machining applications from HEIDENHAIN
HEIDENHAIN’s new POSITIP 8016 digital readout (DRO) with touch screen is suited for manual machine tool applications. With its sturdy machined aluminum housing, this DRO promises to add reliability and ease-of-use to milling, drilling, boring and turning jobs. The PT 8016 DRO has a multitude of functions including a taper calculator, bolt-hole pattern routine and […]
IoT and programmability are leading encoder trends (a Motion Trends Report)
What key trends are driving the encoder market? We put the question to several of the top encoder manufacturers to get their perspective on trends in the encoder industry as well as how developments in other industries are impacting their business. Here’s what they told us. With respect to the IoT and IIoT, what kinds […]
Medical applications benefit from precision encoders
Encoders are essential to accurate positioning in most motion systems, particularly where high precision is most needed. For instance, applications like semiconductor manufacturing with nanometer precision, or medical applications where there is virtually no room for error, because that could mean the difference between life and death. Designers of medical equipment are able to use […]
Large through-hole angle encoders from HEIDENHAIN offer high accuracy
HEIDENHAIN’s new sealed angle encoders can be used as an alternative to modular angular encoders in motion control machining applications that require a larger than usual through-hole. The new RCN 6000 series absolute sealed angle encoders with integral bearings have an exceptionally large hollow shaft diameter of 180 mm (7.09 in.), allowing larger scale machines […]
Heidenhain introduces new improved DRO for machinists
Heidenhain has introduced the new ND 5023 digital readout (DRO) for use with manually operated machine tools. This new DRO replaces Heidenhain’s entry-level ND 522/523 models and consolidates it to one three-axis product. The new DRO comes equipped with a new TFT color display that significantly improves the readability of the information displayed over older models, […]
