AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

SICK announced the launch of its DDS36 and DDS50 incremental encoders. They are low-cost, light duty optical incremental encoders that offer an exceptional price/performance ratio. SICK announced the ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

This application note describes the capabilities of HEDS-8949/HEDS-8969 alignment software, code wheel setup, and the alignment of an AEAT-9000-1GSH0 and AEAT-9000-1GSH1 absolute encoder. Both of the ...
