‘Encoder Feedback’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Renishaw Tonic benefits wide-format printing from Renishaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "Renishaw's Tonic incremental linear-encoder system offers advantages for wide-format printing. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release CNC router reduces time to market from Micromech: "A manufacturer of personal care products has saved money by switching to a low-cost computerised numerical control (CNC) router that can produce point of purchase displays internally.".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from SMAC Europe - take a look at Moving coil actuators have no mechanical backlash which says: "SMAC electric direct drives utilise moving coil technology, which the company said provides long life and high reliability in comparison to conventional pneumatic devices.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from McLennan Servo Supplies, Brushless servo motors provide 2,800-5,200rpm, as well as User interface provides all vehicle information from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, and Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw.
