Ring encoders provide high accuracy feedback of angular motion
High accuracy feedback of angular motion, compact dimensions, frictionless non-contact operation and resistance to contamination, despite having an optical grating, are the main benefits of the ECA 4000 absolute ring encoder range from German manufacturer, Heidenhain. It joins the ERA 4000 incremental ring encoder models, which have been available for more than a decade, and provides a direct upgrade path.
Multi-platform SoC suits future global video analytics markets
ELVEES NeoTek as a part of ELVEES companies group (ELVEES) and Imagination Technologies report the tapeout of the ELVEES Image Semantic Engine (ELISE), a next-generation multi-platform SoC for a wide range of existing and future global video analytics markets.
Compact and robust linear stages at an affordable price
The new linear stages in the L-406 series from PI (Physik Instrumente) offer very good performance data on compact installation space: Despite the narrow width of only 65 mm, travel accuracies up to only 0.5 µm are possible over a travel range of 25 mm. PI is able to supply inexpensive solutions in conjunction with PI motor controllers at very short notice.
Microscope Stage Extension Wings
Prior Scientific has introduced accessory mounting wings for its popular H117 stage for inverted microscopes enabling simple and precise integration of tools such as microfluidic pumps, micro-injectors, micromanipulators, probes and sensors.
Sensors and robots are destined to be together
The drones and robots market is expected to grow at CAGR of 9.4% between 2015 and 2021, reaching a total revenue of $46bn by 2021. In its latest report, Yole Développement (Yole) highlighted that: “More and better sensors means more and better robots.”
Reducing time to market with complex drivers
Hitex has created a set of specialised complex drivers for Infineon AURIX that can be used in addition to Infineon’s MC-ISAR low level drivers based on the AUTOSAR MCAL layer or with any other SW architecture.

Why e-commerce is now a must have in automation & control engineering
Automation and control engineers aren't renowned for buying components online. Despite being able to interface a PLC with a control system on another continent, using nothing more than a secure connection and a Web browser, we have always distrusted the idea of choosing and purchasing a drive, motor, resistor or encoder online and having it delivered without first being able to physically ensure that it meets our requirements.
Direct Drive Linear Motors with Integrated Encoders
The new, SDLM-025-070-01-01 direct drive linear motor from Moticont, also known as an electric cylinder, has a built-in encoder, zero backlash, zero cogging, and provides users with high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life. This direct drive linear motor features 1.25 µm (0.000049 in.) in of resolution. This compact direct drive linear motor is just 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) in diameter and 2.75 in (69.9 mm) long. Inside the m...
