FORTiS™ enclosed encoder downloads
Case studies and application notes
After testing and evaluation, TGT selected Renishaw’s FORTiS™ enclosed encoders for its latest series of tool grinding machines. The ease of installation and other leading-edge features of the FORTiS encoder system enable TGT to optimise its machines’ performance.
To help Effective CNC design and build an 'all-in-one' machine that can perform both additive and subtractive machining operations in tandem, Renishaw provided support with its technical teams specialising in optical position encoders, tool setters and machine tool probes.
Machine users adopting a smart approach to air purge with FORTiS absolute enclosed encoders can significantly reduce their attributable CO2e emissions, and lower electricity costs. FORTiS' unique DuraSeal™ lip seals allow many users to employ a “low flow” air purge philosophy to provide all the reliability benefits of air purge but with reduced compressed air consumption.
White paper
FORTiS encoders are the only enclosed encoder on the market to feature integrated tuned mass dampers (TMDs) that deliver outstanding vibration resistance. The FORTiS encoder TMDs improve positional stability, especially at the encoder's resonant frequency, and enable continuous operation in high vibration environments.
