Time:2026-08-17
A key concern in linear motion systems is the robustness of cables connected to the moving element. A new cable-free technology platform allows the readhead to be a passive device, potentially enabling autoclaving or use as a disposable element .
Key Specifications:
Accuracy: 5 µm
Resolution: 1 µm
Operating Speed: 4 m/s (free) / 10 m/s (flex)
Benefits:
Moving cables are not necessary, eliminating cable fatigue and wear concerns
Readhead can be autoclaved or treated as a disposable element
Suitable for high-throughput applications
Applications: Linear motion systems where cable durability is a primary concern, particularly in high-speed or sterile environments.
