Wherever and whenever possible, the world is transitioning from analog to digital, and in machine tools, we are seeing the move toward digital axes in drive technology. The Heidenhain Corporation (www ...

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 counter project was created to read one or two digital or analog sensors and display the running total on an organic LED display. The speed of an attached DC motor can be controlled by the counter ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...
