Renishaw highlights next-generation FORTiS enclosed linear encoders

Delegates at MachineBuilding.Live are invited to the Renishaw stand to learn about the new enclosed encoder that enables machine tool builders to improve machine tool performance and increase uptime while enhancing the efficiency of assembly, maintenance and servicing.

The FORTiSenclosed linear absolute encoder series is designed for use in harsh environments such as machine tools. It can also be used in functional safety applications up to SiL2 and PLd.

The FORTiS encoder design is built upon industry-provenRESOLUTEencoder technology and provides high resistance to the ingress of liquids and solid debris contaminants. It features an extruded enclosure with longitudinally-attached interlocking lip seals and sealed end caps.
