Absolute encoders provide surgical robots with positional control in a demanding environment. Requiring performance in dexterity and ergonomic flexibility that enhances human skill, combined with faultless reliability, its crucial to select feedback technology that delivers across these areas. Celera Motion’s latest through-bore inductive angle encoder has been designed specifically for surgical robot applications.

Linear motion control specialist, Tolomatic, has released a new multiaxis actuator system, providing rigidity and accuracy for OEM machine designs. Now Distributed in UK by Inmoco.

A linear actuator is usually needed to move an object in a straight line, from a conveyor to a metal press. While some applications requiring the highest forces and longest strokes might need hydraulic actuation, in the majority of cases, electromechanical actuator technology provides both machine builders and machine users with significant advantages.
