HEIDENHAIN updates its successful angle kit encoder line again by modifying the ECA 4000 angle ring encoder series for use in safety-related applications. Of notable use in machine tools where ...

ELMA Push-button option is available on firm’s concentric encoders, which helps save the space of employing another switch. Button can be used for on/off, for a menu selector, or various other options ...

For those needing contamination-resistant encoders with functional safety (FS) for machine feedback, HEIDENHAIN introduces the ECM 2400 absolute modular magnetic angle encoder. Schaumburg, IL ...

An alternative to gates for rotating machines is to base safety controls on safety-rated encoders. Here, the encoder tracks system speed. When a worker needs to get close and triggers the request ...

Recently, I got an X-Touch (firmware 1.22) along with an extender. Initially, I believe the encoder assign buttons were working as expected—they acted as toggles. They would light up after being ...

HEIDENHAIN is meeting the market demand for high-speed, high-resolution modular rotary encoders for motion feedback with the launch of the ERO 2000 series encoder. The encoders' special properties ...

Control surfaces (input devices with sliders, encoders, buttons, etc) are often used in audio and video editing, where they provide an easy way to control editing software. Unfortunately even small… ...

pushbutton encoder or rotary switch from Duraswitch, Mesa, Ariz. (www.duraswitch.com), called the thiNcoder-PB can be placed directly into layers of a membrane switch or flex circuit. A pushbutton ...
