‘Rotary Encoder’

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 EMS - take a look at Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units which says: "Viscotec Pumpen and Faulhaber have devised a drive solution for dosage units on a system that comprises a fast DC drive and high-precision piezo rotary drive, mounted on a common spindle. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from SMAC Europe, Moving coil actuators have no mechanical backlash, as well as NIST installs 3D scanning system from Laser Design from Laser Design, and Brushless servo motors provide 2,800-5,200rpm from McLennan Servo Supplies.
