Osicoder - Rotary encoders

ex Osicoder Optical rotary encoders for all counting, position and speed information requirements

Incremental encoders:

• Calculation of position and/or speed by counting pulses per revolution,
• Parameterable version (resolution 256 to 80 000 points).

Absolute single turn encoders:

• Reading position within a revolution

Absolute multiturn encoders:

• Reading position within a revolution and indication of the number of revolutions

Communicating absolute multiturn encoders:

• Reading position and speed with CANopen or PROFIBUS-DP communication interface

Main characteristics:

• Reliability provided by in-line (3 heads) differential optical reading, high tolerance to: the accumulation of dirt, temperature and ageing.

Incremental and absolute encoders:

• 3 housing diameters: 40, 58 and 90 mm
• 2 shaft types: modular solid or through shafts using reduction collars
• All resolutions: from 100 to 80 000 points

Communicating absolute multiturn encoders:

• Housing diameter: 58 mm
• 2 shaft types: modular solid or hollow shafts using reduction collars
• Resolution: 8192 points /4096 turns
• Integration in the SyCon software environment.

Benefits

A range of innovative rotary encoders opened to field BUS and greatly simplify resolution parameter-setting.

Applications

Industry:

• Packaging, cutting machines, robots, cranes, materials handling, automatic dispensers, printing shops, continuous processes, conveyor systems, etc.
