A safety encoder detects when the machine stops, and lets the operator in right away. Unlike traditional setups, encoder-based safety controls can also detect overspeeds and if the machine is ...

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 ...

HEIDENHAIN introduces a new series of functionally safe hollow-shaft connection encoders to the manufacturing equipment industry. Called the ECN/EQN/ERN 400 series, these new rotary encoders are ...

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 ...

BEI introduced a multi turn absolute encoder, the HMT25, with electronic reset capability. Unlike manual resets (buttons or switches) an electronic reset can use system software for initialization.

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 ...

Featuring a new shaft coupling which provides mechanical fault exclusion for connection to the customer's machine shaft, these new ECN/EQN/ERN 400s are of particular use in safety-related applications ...
