HEIDENHAIN introduces the innovative KCI 120 Dplus absolute rotary encoder designed to fulfill two critical needs via a single component in high accuracy robots. Extremely compact, the KCI 120 Dplus ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

The right motor and a modular unit can deliver high torque performance, accuracy and repeatability, plus easy implementation into articulating arms. If you’re planning to build a collaborative robot ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
