“Encoders are great for measuring rotation”, said Andy Zou, Product Manager at POSITAL, in a statement. “However, for many production processes, measurement of linear speed or position is ...

Unterpremstaetten, Austria The AS5305 magnetic linear motion encoder IC from austriamicrosystems targets linear motion and off-axis rotational measurements in applications such as industrial drives, x ...

Encoders described above are limited to measuring lengths of about 3 m or so. Encoders that measure longer distances contain scales made from steel tape. A typical tape is about 0.3 mm thick and ...

Featuring a postage-stamp-sized scanning unit along with high accuracy, Heidenhan’s incremental exposed linear encoders will likely fit the needs of stage manufacturers or anyone using linear ...

HEIDENHAIN’s LIC 2100 exposed linear encoder with absolute position measurement ensures smooth motion, providing comfort to patients during positioning as well as advantages for liquid handling ...

The TRP Tru-TracPro programmable incremental encoder is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces at speeds of 3,000 feet per minute. With ...

Absolute position means that the sensors can immediately report the correct position without a reference move upon start-up or after a power loss. Measuring linear position at the load, rather than ...

The French firm Vectral is now offering a high-speed, linear-measurement system for demanding industrial environments. Available in both linear encoder and electronic tape-measure formats, ...

This means that the SIKO Encoder can be used in machine manufacturing safety applications without additional outlay. Whereas up to now two separate sensors had to be used to obtain position values ...

This article presents a linear motor mover position detection method based on an image sample database to achieve high-precision measurement of the position of a long-stroke linear motor mover. First, ...
