iC-MQ provides up to 400 angle steps for sine interpolation; to improve angle accuracy, this basic function is supplemented by a finely adjustable signal conditioning circuitry, a signal path multiplexer (which keeps pin functions variable) and fault-tolerant RS422 line drivers. Device installation with incorrectly connected wires is tolerated by iC-MQ even when supply voltage is reversed. (read more)

Add performance, simplicity and robustness to your designs with the Mercury™ 1800 kit encoder. Just introduced by MicroE Systems, it is the smallest encoder to provide up to 50-nanometer or 100 nanometer resolution directly from the sensor. The sensor, which measures 8.9mm high, contains all signal processing and interpolation electronics. (read more)

The iC-TW4 is a configurable low cost interpolation and signal conditioning device featuring encoder quadrature output signals. The chip is pin configured with four resistors and needs no microcontroller or EEPROM for operation or configuration. The chip operates on single-sided supplies of 3.3 V to 5 V. The interpolation engine interfaces differential sensor bridg­es with no external compo... (read more)

Precise motion control at lowest cost. Multi-axis, plug-in drives for steppers or servos reduce wiring. Motion modes include linear/circular interpolation & electronic gearing. Download specs and pricing or call 800-377-6329. (read more)

The DMC-1415 amd DMC-1425 are members of the Econo Series, Galil's latest generation of lowest cost motion controllers. The DMC-1415 controls one servo motor and the DMC-1425 controls two servo motors. The controllers are half-the-size and half-the-price of other multi-axis controllers. The DMC-1425 features linear and circular interpolation for precise coordination of two servo axes. (read more)

Linear Encoder Advancements Make More Possible with Less

The photonics and semiconductor industries are very complex, and there is much interdependency. Machines related to both these industries (from fiber alignment stages to optical inspection systems) all have a few things in common despite th... (read more)
