Episode 72 - Robert Wachendorff and Tom Bako, Wachendorff Automation
About this episode
Encoders might be small pieces in the automation puzzle, but they have a huge impact on whether that automation works correctly. By providing feedback on position, speed, and rotation, encoders help machines and systems operate accurately and efficiently. Wachendorff Automation has been making encoders for more than four decades, and knows a thing or two about the demands being placed on precision motion control. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, TECH B2B Marketing’s Winn Hardin and John Lewis met at Automate 2024 in Chicago to talk with Robert Wachendorff, CEO, and Tom Bako, Business Development Manager USA, about the ins and outs of operating in harsh environments, faster throughputs, and smartphone-based encoder configuration.
