Heidenhain: Demo shows how secondary encoders can enhance cobots

On its stand at the recent SPS exhibition in Germany, the encoder-maker Heidenhain was demonstrating how secondary encoders can not only improve the accuracy of cobots (collaborative robots) but also provide collision monitoring without needing additional torque sensors. By watching a force gauge, visitors could see how the robot stayed within defined force thresholds and [...] The post Demo shows how secondary encoders can enhance cobots first appeared on Drives&Controls.
