What position is this thing in?
Associated questions could include: Has it moved? In what type of motion? How close is it? While accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers provide inertial measurement units (IMUs) for position sensing in smart phones and other portable products, many other sensing technologies have been used to determine position, long before the smart phone. In industrial applications, more […]
Absolute Sealed Linear Encoders Add Interface
Ease of interfacing a sensor is especially important in machine control applications. Even though it offered LC xx5 Absolute Sealed Linear Encoders for use with Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and HEIDENHAIN controls for many years, HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION, recently added a Panasonic interface (Pana01) to the line. Available in 3 µm (with a 1 nm measuring step) […]
