Renishaw To Show Resolute Absolute Encoder At MTEC
Renishaw will display its latest range of optical incremental encoders at MTEC, which will take place at the NEC, Birmingham from 27-28 April. Demonstrations will include a 1nm resolution version of Renishaw's Tonic incremental encoder, a magnetic chip encoder and an absolute optical encoder capable of 10 atoms resolution at 220mph and suitable for rotary and linear applications. Renishaw's Resolute absolute optical encoder system gives a 1nm resolution at 100 metres per second for both linear encoder and angle-encoder applications, yet still offers excellent dirt immunity. Absolute position is acquired immediately at system switch-on, so the exact orientation of axis and motor commutation angle are known without the need for a reference (datum) return. Large set-up tolerances also enable easy installation and high reliability, while low jitter and SDE (sub-divisional error) meet the demands of high-precision stages. The Tonic range of incremental optical linear and rotary en...
