The motion control systems of equipment such as industrial automation or robotics are often reliant on rotary encoders to provide data on position, speed, direction and distance. These typically feature a disc, which is attached to the shaft of the motor whose movements need to be tracked. By Jeff Smoot, CUI Devices

With the new iC-RZ Series encoder chips from iC-Haus, safety encoders can be made even simpler and more compact. This is made possible by the innovative single-chip design as an optical twin encoder with a redundant safety channel.

Does your industrial control system include customised logic? Do you have an FPGA, CPLD, or external logic components supplementing your embedded controller and wonder ‘why can’t this all be done in one device?’ Are you using this additional logic because your MCU peripherals don’t give you all the capability you need?

Harwin continues to show its credentials in respect to the further promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to younger generations. In order to ensure that students attending Havant & South Downs College (HSDC) have access to the hardware necessary to support their ongoing education, it is donating a robot arm - a package worth more than £30,000.

Available for Variohm EuroSensor’s UK and Ireland customers, is a new promotional price offer from Wachendorff which covers the German industrial encoder and precision automation component manufacturers’ wide range of Industrial Ethernet (IE) based absolute shaft encoders.

SICK has launched the world’s smallest safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3, designed for easy and economical integration into the smallest of machine designs, particularly for automated guided vehicles, carts, mobile platforms and service robots. The ultra-compact SICK nanoScan3 is just eight centimetres tall, so it can fit snugly into the spaces in machines where safety laser scanners could not previously have been located.

Nidec Industrial Solutions presented its new Avtron Encoder designed specifically for tomorrow’s wind farms at the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, an event for the automation and digital industry and which is taking place this 26th to 28th November. With the launch of this innovative solution, Nidec Industrial Solutions confirms its global leadership in the growth of the renewable energy sector.

JVL A/S, the integrated servo and stepper motor manufacturer, has announced its new HLMT series hollow shaft rotary actuators take a novel approach to decentralised precision positioning tasks on rotary tables and automated machines where a through aperture is required for routing services or maintaining a clear line of site.

After only two years of development time, DMG MORI ushers in a new era of automatic turning machines with multiple spindles. The current MULTISPRINT series represents a technological revolution in automatic turning. The efficient turning machine itself and the fast, precise and diverse production processes that are enabled, make the MULTISPRINT into a machine with almost unlimited possibilities. Outstanding performance and quality developed and m...

At SPS 2019 (hall 4A, booth 136) in Nuremberg (November 26-28), iC-Haus presents its latest generation of integrated high-resolution optical-reflective absolute encoders. The iC-PZ Series is said to set new standards in flexibility and miniaturisation.
