Linear “lineup” impressive for Robotic Summit in June: Attend for technology insights

May 15, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Robots aren’t all humanoid and SCARA; some take the form of linear-motion arrangements. In fact, we’ve covered how Cartesian arrangements in particular offer better energy efficiency and price points than more stereotypical robotic arrangements. You’ll get copious amount of information on such linear designs and technologies at the 2019 Robotics Summit (on commercial-robotics design, development, […]

TTK70 absolute linear encoder with compact read head by SICK

September 12, 2012 By Stacy Combest Leave a Comment

Sick has launched a compact absolute linear encoder specifically designed as a motor feedback system for linear motors or for positioning machine tools and robotics. Offering a reliable alternative to fragile optical scales, the TTK70 comes with sub-micron resolution as well as an accuracy of +/-10 microns. The high-performance magnetic encoder features a compact yet […]
