‘Encoder Feedback’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from
Renishaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "Renishaw has introduced 1nm and 2nm resolution versions of its Tonic incremental encoder range.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations from
BNS Nuclear Services: "Increasing graphite core inspection requirements has led to a British Energy review of how to approach the inspection of its AGR reactor channels without extending reactor outages. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Carlo Gavazzi
- take a look at Carlo Gavazzi launches RSBT-type 15kW soft starter
which says: "Carlo Gavazzi has introduced a 15kW soft starter, extending the company's range of compact modules for compressor applications such as geothermal heat pumps.".
Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers,
as well as SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders from Sick Stegmann,
and Leak-free couplings aid nuclear decommissioning from Staubli UK (Connectors).
