Feedback transducers fit new and old designs
A
Micronor product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 22, 2006
Feedback transducers can be designed as plug-and-play replacements for obsolete units formerly manufactured by Baumer, Crouzet, Eucron and Micron.
Micronor's MR200 series feedback transducers are based on the company's proprietary modular cam switch system.
This proven technology provides an efficient and cost-effective way to engineer plug-and-play feedback transducers for new equipment designs as well as servicing machinery no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturers.
Feedback units can incorporate any combination of encoders, resolvers, potentiometers, tachometers, rotary limit switches as well as specialised interface electronics (4-20mA or +/-10V analogue outputs, serial interface, CAN etc).
These feedback components are readily integrated with precision low or zero backlash gearing - in application-specific, compatible packaging.
Feedback transducers are mission critical components of precision CNC machinery - designed to provide highly accurate and reliable position, speed and overrun control of linear or rotary motion in high performance servomotor drive systems.
Machine applications exist across many industries, including CNC machine centres, industrial robotics, food processing, medical products, packaging, heavy manufacturing, paper converting and military/aerospace.
MR200 series feedback transducers can be designed as plug-and-play replacements for obsolete units formerly manufactured by Baumer, Crouzet, Eucron and Micron.
These transducers are can be found in machinery manufactured by a large number of OEM CNC equipment manufacturers; including Bridgeport, Cincinnati Lamb, Giddings and Lewis and Kingsbury - to name just a few.
