This python module can be used for the creation of binary or gray encoded absolute rotary encoders of various resolutions and to your own specified dimensions. The result is a polygon object on the ...

“The biggest machine safety issue is unannounced power outages,” says Jim Marshall, of Sick Stegmann. “On startup, you need to know where axes are without physically moving them. For machine tools and ...

Encoders come in different types. Most people are familiar with quadrature encoders, which use two pins that change state sequentially in different order depending on the direction of rotation. One of ...

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 ...

Same Sky’s Motion and Control Group has added a new series to its innovative AMT absolute encoder family designed to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9mm to 15.875mm (5/8"). The AMT24 series, ...

LIKA offers new robust absolute encoder as single- or multiturn versions. The EXO series encoders are equipped with high accuracy optical sensing technology while EXM series encoders mount a robust ...

Both incremental and absolute rotary encoders are electromechanical devices that provide motion feedback about a rotating shaft. However, absolute rotary encoders can do the job of incremental ...

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

The SMA21 absolute linear encoder from Lika Electronic provides fine resolution down to 1 µm and high accuracy of ±2 µm at fast speed up to 10 m/s. It is ideally suited for challenging applications ...
