Heidenhain has launched a new encoder for use with Acu-Rite’s digital readouts.
The AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder adds to the company’s line of linear encoders.
The new TTL encoder is specifically designed for long length applications (over 10′) on manually operated machines and is compatible with Heidenhain’s Acu-Rite brand of digital readouts. [Read more…] about Heidenhain launches new encoder
As a recent addition to its ProfiNet IRT protocol variants, Wachendorff’s WDGA 58F absolute magnetic encoder features a minimum bus cycle time of 125 μs which is eminently suited to tightly synchronised multi-axis motion control on the fastest PLCs.
Available in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, the 58 mm diameter encoder is also reckoned to be the world’s smallest ProfiNet encoder with a nominal length of only 46.5 mm.
Wachendorff’s WDGA series absolute encoders, are characterised by their single- plus multi-turn functionality and the unique patented magnetic scanning principle that offers exceptionally high-precision position and velocity measurement with extreme durability and long life – without the use of wear-prone gears or batteries.

In Germany alone, over 10 million tonnes of potatoes are harvested each year. Worldwide, the total even exceeds 341 million tonnes.
More than 80 years ago, Grimme developed the first potato harvesting machine. A great deal has happened since that time, and now Grimme is said to be the world market leader in potato harvesting technology.
Besides the actual harvesting, efficient storage technology is equally important to ensure that potatoes remain available in top quality to meet demand. [Read more…] about Grimme marks 80 years since first automated potato harvesting machine
