HEIDENHAIN's newest generation of absolute angle encoders continue to set standards with their integral bearings and hollow shafts, and have now expanded their usage to include connection to Fanuc controls.
In robotics and automation technology, rotary encoders and resolvers serve on servo drives as feedback systems for position and speed control. An increasing number of applications require multiturn versions of absolute encoders that are low in cost and as sturdy as resolvers, but with features beyond what resolvers can provide.
Meeting the motor industry's needs for a thin and robust rotary encoder for tight spaces is Leine & Linde's introduction of the 700 Series of encoders from Heidenhain.
HEIDENHAIN Corp. now introduces new low profile incremental rotary encoders with block commutation tracks, especially suitable for use in small-dimensioned servo motors.
