The seventh axis for robotic applications is definitely having its moment. A few years ago, the seventh axis was not an aspect often discussed in robotic applications, as the focus then tended to be ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Built to measure the movement, location or displacement of an object along a linear or rotational path, position sensing in humanoid robots is needed to detect movement and convert it into signals ...

Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in the world. Rotary, angle and linear encoders are all used in one form or another ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
