Video: Automatic Part Verification Through Reference Comparison
The machining center in this automated production process inspects its own work and updates its own positioning. Probing a known, traceable reference makes this possible.
Accuracy Gain From Linear Encoders
If the position of a machine tool’s axis is measured using a rotary encoder, then potentially the ballscrew is being asked to perform two contradictory functions. The ballscrew both drives the axis into position and indicates that position—because t...
