ACU-RITE’s new MILLPWR G2 control is “Powerful Easy”
ACU-RITE is proud to introduce the long-awaited MILLPWR G2 CNC control for milling machines. Being noted as "Powerful Easy", this all new control promises to be the simplest and easiest-to-operate CNC for vertical knee mills on the market today, even more powerful than its well known MILLPWR predecessor.
NEW SIL 3 safety encoders from HEIDENHAIN
SCHAUMBURG, IL (September 2013) – Safety-related position encoders have been available from HEIDENHAIN for several years. However, those encoders have been rated to SIL 2, PL d, Category 3.
HEIDENHAIN’s new encoder testing software now available
SCHAUMBURG, IL (May 2013) –– Used in conjunction with HEIDENHAIN's PWM 20 diagnostic tool, the new ATS (Adjustment and Testing Software) software provides a powerful and easy-to-use platform to diagnose encoder faults and to evaluate the output signals of HEIDENHAIN encoders.

LVDTs versus optical scanning
Gaging fixtures are a staple in many metrology labs and assembly lines. They offer a fast, easy, and inexpensive way to determine if a measured part passes tolerances. Two popular tools that are found in many fixtures are HEIDENHAIN length gages and Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT). While LVDTs and HEIDENHAIN length gages are both used for the same purpose, the way they operate is fundamentally different.
Encoders for brushless motor commutation
The process of steering current through the appropriate motor windings in order to produce an output torque is called commutation. Before start-up permanent-magnet three-phase motors must have an absolute position value available for electrical commutation.
