Absolute encoders are used in machines that need information about the position of components before any motion occurs, and this new encoder targets space-constrained industrial automation ...

A novel absolute encoder module that comes in 12- and 16-bit versions uses a modular approach to reduce the number of assembly steps from as many as eight down to just four (see the figure ...

Such as with HEIDENHAIN’s other angle encoder modules, each of the new MRP 2200 encoder modules consist of a high accuracy angle encoder and robust embedded bearings that form one compact module.
