HEIDENHAIN’s family of KGM grid encoders have once again been improved to better meet the needs of CNC-controlled machine users who require accuracy testing. Now the KGM 281 grid encoder is available ...
“Measure twice, cut once” is great advice in every aspect of fabrication, but perhaps nowhere is it more important than when building a CNC machine. When precision is the name of the game, you need ...
Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?
