White paper: Tuned mass damping FORTiS™ encoders achieve class-leading vibration resistance (pdf)
Machine tools produce significant vibration during operation and high levels of machine vibration can adversely affect the measurement accuracy of enclosed position encoders installed on these machines. The quality of axis position measurement can directly impact aspects of process quality, such as feature accuracy and surface finish. FORTiS encoders are the only enclosed encoder on the market to feature integrated tuned mass dampers (TMDs) that deliver outstanding vibration resistance. This white paper demonstrates that FORTiS encoders provide good positional stability and reliable operation, whilst being exposed to a wide range of vibration amplitudes across an appropriate band of frequencies.
