Sensor technology implemented in encoder
10 March 2009
Absolute encoder features 12-bit resolution over 360-degree rotation.
Providing design engineers with a versatile control solution with extended life cycles, BI Technologies is in the process of developing an absolute encoder utilising its proprietary DAPS (Digital Angular Position Sensor) technology. Available with multiple output configurations, the encoder will feature 12-bit resolution over 360-degree rotation.
“While the encoder package is similar to industry standard HS35 devices, our new absolute encoder features a microprocessor-based design, providing users unparallel design flexibility,” said Alain Leon, product marketing manager for BI Technologies. “Furthermore, our DAPS technology can provide extremely accurate position and speed information, and could allow customers to program the device’s zero-degree position (with serial I/O option) at the time of installation.”
Numerous output options, including multiple index points, custom coding, and software turns counters, are also available. The absolute encoder will feature a bearing life easily exceeding 1 billion revolutions, and is anticipated for use in industrial automation, heavy equipment, robotics and instrumentation applications.
