Case Study: High precision XY gantry with self-correcting XY orthogonality system

June 27, 2016 By

Primatics-XY-Axis

Primatics was contracted to design and build a 5-axis, high precision sorter system. Two of the axes were to be in a gantry form of a 500 mm travel Y, Y’ with a 1300 mm travel X cross axis supported by the Y carriages. The X carriage was to carry a 50 mm travel Z axis which in turn would carry the … [Read more...]

Reimagining Reflective Encoders

March 24, 2016 By

Traditionally, reflective encoders have been considered a lower end option used when cost was more important than options. Whether needing high CPR, an index channel or compact sizes, it's time to reevaluate reflective technology. New encoders are still economical but now offer improved performance … [Read more...]
