“Measure twice, cut once” is great advice in every aspect of fabrication, but perhaps nowhere is it more important than when building a CNC machine. When precision is the name of the game, you need ...

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?

Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in the world. Rotary, angle and linear encoders are all used in one form or another ...

An absolute rotary encoder determines the angular position of a shaft on the basis of a static reference point. They are sensors that generate digital signals that correspond to the position in ...

In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

The AMR4020VD supports parallel or perpendicular PCB mounting and resists external magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss. MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) announced the launch of its AMR4020VD ...
