Renishaw RESOLUTE UHV encoder offers clean RGA
Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has introduced the world’s first true-absolute optical encoder suitable for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments — the RESOLUTE UHV. Constructed from clean vacuum-compatible adhesives and materials, the all-new RESOLUTE UHV optical encoder delivers proven clean residual gas analysis (RGA) and low outgassing rates, making it suitable for high performance scientific and semiconductor applications that […]
Renishaw encoder compatible with Mitsubushi serial communications protocol
Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has proudly announced that its Resolute absolute optical encoder can now be used in linear formats with Mitsubishi serial communication protocol. This enables the optical encoder to be utilized with Mitsubishi’s MELSERVO-J4 line of servo amplifiers, which are commonly used in various industries such as flat panel display (FPD) manufacturing, electronics assembly, factory […]
Arcus DMX-K-SA-11 stepper motor features Renishaw magnetic encoder chip
The new DMX-K-SA-11 stepper motor from Arcus Technology (www.arcus-technology.com) integrates Renishaw’s (www.renishaw.com) magnetic encoder chip for real-time position verification. Its compact size enables the motor to stay within the NEMA 11 standard, which is the 1.1-inch-square form factor. A 16-microstep driver, the DMX-K-SA-11 is capable of 1/16, 1/4, 1/2 or full microsteps in three varying […]
