- Slides: 9
Introducing ATOM™ series encoders • • World’s first miniature encoder with filtering optics Best-in-class performance Robust and light-weight design Hi-flex cable and Flexible-Printed Circuit (FPC) options
Value to you High dirt immunity Low inertia Low TCO Value Increased performance High resolution
Specifications • • • Two cable options: FPC or hi-flex cable output Both 20 µm and 40 µm pitch linear and rotary scales available Compact readhead size: 20. 5 mm x 12. 7 mm x 7. 3 mm (FPC) Rotary scale accuracy of ± 0. 7 µm (± 1. 98 arc second on a Ø 108 mm disc) Rotary angular speed to 29 000 RPM Linear scale accuracy (slope + linearity) to ± 5 µm/m Linear resolutions to 1 nm and linear speeds to 20 m/s Choice of either analogue or digital signal interpolation Multi-colour set-up LED
Real-life applications • TPC Motion (TPC) is a well-known Korean manufacturer of motion-control components • TPC selected ATOM for its variable aperture stop assembly – part of a laser tool used in FPD inspection and repair operations • The aperture stop consists of four moving vanes, each individually controlled by a voice-coil motor and ATOM encoder “ “ The ATOM series meets all of our main requirements for a high -performance, low-noise and light-weight miniature encoder system. Direct comparison with competing brands has demonstrated beyond doubt that ATOM is indeed best-in-class
ATOM basic principles • Readhead sensor uses patented filtering optics OR • Digital or analogue signal output depending on interface option • Optical filtering enhances dirt immunity and eliminates undulation error for robust operation • Readhead LED indicator and CAL routine, which also phases optical reference marks for easier set-up 10/26/2021 Slide 5
