POSITAL-FRABA multi-turn hollow shaft kit encoders — Rockwell Encompass Complementary Products

November 11, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

POSTIAL-FRABA’s new hollow-shaft kit encoders are now a complementary product in Rockwell Automation’s PartnerNetwork Encompass program. These new products mark a significant innovation for industrial motion control. Until now, almost all through or hollow-shaft encoders have been limited to a single-turn measurement range, largely because fully satisfactory multi-turn technology has been not been available. POSITAL […]
