Achieving high precision with non-contact measurement Capacitive displacement sensors are still deemed to be primarily suited to clean, dry environments. However, in the form of industry-optimized models such as those designed by Micro-Epsilon, capacitive sensors achieve peak performances in harsh industrial applications. They also measure with the highest precision down to sub-micrometer accuracy in industrial environments. With temperature resistance, robustness and flexibility, capacitive sensors can also be used in environments where fluctuating temperatures or magnetic fields occur. Capacitive displacement sensors mainly determine changes in displacement and position of conductive objects. Here, Micro-Epsilon applies its expertise in the development of innovative…
Every sector has seen transformations and advancements over the years. The days of numerical controls being solely about servo mechanisms are long gone. We are now living in the era of CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) systems. These control systems have aided in a variety of ways, ranging from simple turning to complex machining. The controllers that operate these CNC systems are even more fascinating. Mitsubishi Electric looks ahead to partner with the brands that are focused on global and future-oriented development. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, and it refers to the concept of controlling machine tools with a computer.…
The history of computer numerical control (CNC) machines dates back seven decades. During the 1950s, CNC technology was difficult to introduce due to manufacturers’ skepticism. Today, it is hard to imagine the world of manufacturing without CNC machines. In material-removal processes, a CNC machine has become the central link that determines the functional capabilities of a manufacturer. CNC machining centers are complex machines that continue to evolve and improve. The advancement of CNC technology is based on the progress in various fields such as main spindle and its bearing units, machining slideways, high-velocity drives, computer engineering, hydraulics, electric motors, robotics,…
