POSITAL Sensors – Precision Feedback for Collaborative Robots
Encoders measure rotation and return a digital signal that reports the angle of rotation (absolute encoders) or rate of motion (incremental encoders) to the control system. The ‘right’ encoders for cobots need to be accurate, reliable, and compact, with excellent dynamic response characteristics. They also need to be reasonably priced. POSITAL-FRABA has responded to this … Continue reading POSITAL Sensors – Precision Feedback for Collaborative Robots
Measuring Wheels turn Rotary Encoders into Linear Position Sensors
POSITAL has introduced a series of measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders. When one of these wheels is mounted on the shaft of an encoder, the result is an accurate and reliable instrument for measuring linear motion and position. “Rotary encoders do a great job of measuring rotary motion in shafts … Continue reading Measuring Wheels turn Rotary Encoders into Linear Position Sensors
