RENCO Launches Redesigned Website To Benefit Rotary Encoder Users

RENCO encoders have a new home online with the launch of a redesigned website at www.renco.com .

SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 2016) - RENCO encoders have a new home online with the launch of a redesigned website at www.renco.com . This is of special interest to those that work with electrical drive technology, robotics, medical technology, automation, and building services engineering.


The new RENCO website features many helpful resources including a new rotary encoder product selection tool allowing users to easily identify the exact variation of encoder they are looking for. In addition, users can access links to 2D and 3D CAD drawings for all RENCO variants, mounting instructions and videos to ease installation, and a brand new catalog available for download.

The RENCO brand is currently highlighted by the R35i and RCML15 rotary encoders without integral bearing. These encoders use the optical scanning principle and offer the greatest possible functionality while featuring the smallest possible dimensions, thanks in large part to their simple and self-centering installation method with a patented slide-lock mechanism.

HEIDENHAIN produces the RENCO rotary encoders, and also sells them worldwide. This means that RENCO rotary encoders benefit from HEIDENHAINs comprehensive know-how in the development and production of encoders. HEIDENHAIN develops and manufactures linear and angle encoders, rotary encoders, digital readouts and numerical controls for demanding positioning tasks. To date, HEIDENHAIN has shipped nearly six million linear encoders, over 15 million rotary and angle encoders, approximately 500,000 digital readouts and 260,000 TNC controls.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
