Manufacturing operations of any size require some degree of transport and storage of materials, components, assemblies, and finished goods. These activities can be classified as material handling and often take place in warehouses or distribution centers. Rising labor and energy costs are driving facility managers to invest in improved productivity and efficiency via automated material h... (read more)

Whether you're working on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Automated Guided Carts (AGC), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), or any of the other designations being used, robots and robotics are becoming increasingly important to industry, moving parts and materials in every environment from manufacturing to warehouses, to customer-facing grocery stores.

To ensure precision, it is vita... (read more)

As the term implies, rotary encoders generally provide feedback for rotary motion. However, with the addition of a measuring wheel, gear, or cable-draw assembly, a rotary encoder can also provide feedback for linear displacement or measurement. EPC offers a line of integrated linear measurement solutions. They’re easy to install and deliver reliable, accurate feedback for applicati... (read more)
