A high performance, absolute linear, rotary or angle encoder
system comprising two parts, a RESOLUTETM
"readhead" and either a linear, rotary or angle "scale." The "readhead" is the
first to use high speed digital camera technology coupled with high speed DSP
processors allowing very high surface speeds (up to 37,000 rpm to 100 m/sec),
significant dirt immunity, extremely fine angular, linear accuracy and
resolution. RESOLUTETM is intended for use in semiconductor, flat-panel, medical
and astronomy systems as well as lower end motion control stages and motors.
RESOLUTETM has been designed to offer very high levels of data integrity, safety
and accuracy. It allows design engineers a single absolute encoder platform for
linear, rotary or partial arc motion. Design allows for far larger alignment
tolerances than ever offered due to single track absolute code and a patented
taper mount to allow bearing wander to be cancelled. Excellent dirt immunity
due to digital camera scale code recognition. Resolution is available up to
32bits (4,294,967,292 counts per rev) or down to 1 nm (0.000001 mm) for linear.
Readhead design and electrical communications are the same (internal to the
readhead) regardless of resolution or configuration, absolute position
available immediately on switch on, no battery backup is required.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
