Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in the world. Rotary, angle and linear encoders are all used in one form or another ...

Norck Robotics delivers precision engineering and high-performance hardware to build intelligent, scalable, and ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Engineers and manufacturers are increasingly turning to robots for increased productivity, and key to these engineering marvels are linear guides. Martin Ahner, head of norelem ACADEMY, discusses the ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Built for rugged conditions, the company’s latest line of Kübler magnetic linear encoders employ A and B output voltage channels plus a periodic index with the corresponding inverted channels.

SICK has released safety-certified versions of its TTK70 and TTK50 magnetic absolute linear encoders with Hiperface° interface, widening the opportunities for accurate, absolute motor feedback systems ...

Speeds of up to 80 in./s (2 m/s) with strokes to 144 in. (3.6 m) and acceleration to 1G are all possible with a new series of linear stepper motors. Capable of precise position, velocity and ...
