HEIDENHAIN's Sturdy New Rotary Encoder Now Available for Robotics/Automation
SCHAUMBURG, IL (March 2012) – In robotics and automation technology, rotary encoders and resolvers serve on servo drives as feedback systems for position and speed control. An increasing number of applications require multiturn versions of absolute encoders that are low in cost and as sturdy as resolvers, but with features beyond what resolvers can provide. HEIDENHAIN’s new EBI 1135 absolute inductive rotary encoder fits this bill. Within the new EBI 1135, the fast EnDat 2.2 pure serial interface is used for transmission of a high-resolution absolute position value to improve
