Encoders + sensors (linear) + I/O
High accuracy, open frame, thermally stable galvo scanner
The highly repeatable and thermally stable feedback sensors used on the AGV-HPO scanner systems can be calibrated down to single-digit, micron-level accuracy over the field of view. With the extremely low thermal gain drift performance of the position transducers, complex, high-density laser machining applications will maintain consistent micron-level feature placement accuracy over the lifetime of […]

New Linear Kit Encoder with Extremely High Mounting Tolerances
HEIDENHAIN is adding another absolute linear kit encoder to its already successful kit encoder family. The LIC 2100 series was developed as an addition to HEIDENHAIN’s LIC 4000/LIC 4100 encoders to serve applications where very high mounting tolerances and unlimited reliability are more important than maximum accuracy. This is especially useful in applications in the […]
Affordable High Precision XY Nanopositioning Piezo Stage
PI’s P-763 XY nanopositioning stage is a new, more affordable addition to PI’s wide range of piezo stage positioners. The compact P-763 flexure-guided stage has a footprint of less than 3×3 inches (70x70mm) while providing a 30x30mm aperture. With a large travel range of 200×200 microns this piezo positioning system is ideal for demanding applications […]
Curtiss-Wright Implements PROFINET IO Communications on Tritex II
Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) announced that its Exlar business units will implement the PROFINET IO with its Tritex II actuators. PROFINET is the Ethernet based automation standard of PROFIBUS International. The Tritex II integrated actuator line has passed the PROFINET IO Conformance testing performed by the PROFI Interface Center. This communication link to your PLC will […]
HEIDENHAINs Sealed Absolute Linear Encoders With Mitsubishi Interface
The new absolute LC 195M and LC 495M sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that require a Mitsubishi interface. These new encoders improve upon HEIDENHAINs already successful LC xx3 series, as the LC 195M/495M now focus on the requirements for purely-serial absolute systems for Mitsubishi drive components. The transmission […]
