JENA ENcOdEr TEcNOTiON LiNEAr MOTOr cOMpANy

Tecnotion, Netherlands is the global authority on direct drive motor technology. One of the most critical quality measures of large format printers is the spacing of pixels, since the human eye can detect pixels that are not evenly spaced. This means that the motion of the printer should be extremely smooth and the velocity of the

print head very stable. To achieve this, a majority of large format printer manufacturers use Tecnotion linear motors, which can increase the accuracy of the ink jetting. Linear moto is available with R7000/R3700 Pro Series.

Numerik JENA, Germany is world’s leading engineering and scientific technology companies, with expertise in precision measurement. High response linear motors are essential for these types of dynamic applications. Only linear motors can produce the fast response needed for high quality printing applications, which is far in excess of a mechanical transmission.

The role of the encoder is to precisely track the motion of the linear motor at all times. Jena’s encoders on multiple axis ensure the highest levels of print performance.
