Electronic Wireless Handwheel enhances machine tool control.
Intended for use on machine tools, cordless HR 550 FS lets user concentrate on action in machine's working space by enabling remote control datum setting as well as probing with free and unrestricted movement around machine. This also promotes safe environment by eliminating risk of getting caught in handwheel cables. Colored and raised axis keys permit traverse of up to 6 NC axes, and display...
Read More »Absolute Angle Encoders feature integral bearing.
Available in various hollow shaft diameters, Series RCN 2000/5000/8000 provide position and speed control through use on rotational axes. Encoders use single-field scanning principle with optical filtering to produce optimal scanning signals. In addition to evaluation electronics with diagnostic functions, units include plug-in cables with quick disconnect at encoder. Axial and radial deflection...
