A set of ultracompact MCG linear encoder reader heads has recently helped Sussex-based Mark Roberts Motion Control to produce the controlgear for a 6DOF platform for use on feature film productions.
Its cylindrical body enables the MCG to be incorporated into OEM machinery designs with minimal alignment and assembly requirements.
Newall's MCG, which uses a completely new design, is easier to mount than conventional linear encoder reader heads and provides an integrated solution to acquiring and analysing positional data on modern automation systems.
The reader head is also ideal for machine tool applications requiring accurate and repeatable positioning information.
Available in four signal configurations, to suit the majority of automation and process control uses, the MCG head includes all the necessary reader electronics in the connector housing, which is supplied complete with a 0.5m lead.
TTL, 11mA and two 1V peak to peak (SCC100 and SCC200) signals are available. Request a free brochure from Newall Measurement Systems ...
