Multi-axis Machine Set-up Simplified

Sept. 2, 2010
In machine automation systems where changing formats or positioning objects with numerous axes is necessary, the HR 1120 electronic handwheel promises to simplify retooling and set-up processes. 
This robust handwheel is used in association with the machine control. Despite its compact dimensions, the HR 1120 electronic handwheel is suitable for both portable and for stationary housings, says the vendor. The mechanical detent with 100 positions per revolution permits precise and exact control of movement. The electrical signal output at TTL levels with differential signals as per RS422 allows connection to many standard PLCs and PC slot cards.Heidenhain Corp.www.heidenhain.com847.490.1191
