The 25T features the next generation of encoder technology's proprietary opto-ASIC sensor, which provides superior accuracy and precision counts.
Costing a fraction of the price of traditional 17-bit encoders, Smart Abs was developed as a high speed, high accuracy positioning device, particularly for robotic applications.
Its maximum speed is 6000 rpm and positioning accuracy, +/-1/2 bit.
As well as the single turn 17-bit models, Smart Abs may also be specified as multi-turn 33 bit versions.
Typically costing a tenth of the price of its competitors, Smart Abs is also substantially smaller.
Traditionally, a 17-bit encoder could be up to 600mm in diameter - the Smart Abs can be as small as 35mm.
It also features a dual mode signal output which allows consistent and precise positional feedback of data across a wide range of dynamic conditions; the Smart Abs employs an incremental signal at low speed and a lower resolution absolute signal as speed increases.
In common with existing products in the Smart Abs range, the new SSI-output models also feature an E2PROM for the easy input and storage of set-up parameters and identification information.
Additional customer data can be freely stored with up to 640 bits of memory available (8 bit x 80 addresses). Request a free brochure from Encoder Technology ...
