Because they have higher resolution and accuracy, these encoders are often used in applications that need high precision, ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...

Optical materials and structures are substances used to manipulate the flow of light. This can include reflecting, absorbing, focusing or splitting an optical beam. The efficiency of a specific ...

Frictionless motion with excellent velocity constancy for high-end test and manufacturing. Motorized air bearings linear slides, such as the A-123, combine long travel ranges with nanometer precision ...

For applications that require high precision but do not justify the use of air bearings, PI’s new V-700 series mechanical ...
