Higher Speed for Linear Encoder Kit

POSIC launches a brand new version of the IT3402L linear encoder kit with a higher speed and improved repeatability.

The maximum speed and the resolution of the IT3402L encoder are field-programmable, which allows you to precisely adjust it to your application requirements. The combination of maximum speed and resolution has been increased by a factor 6 compared to the previous version of the encoder. Example: a maximum speed 1 m/s can now be achieved with a resolution of 0.6 µm and a repeatability of ±1 µm.

The output signals are A and B pulses in quadrature and an Index-pulse that is synchronized to the A and B signals. Thanks to the eddy-current sensing mechanism, the encoder is immune against magnetic fields and therefore particularly suited for integration in linear direct drives, voice coil actuators, solenoids and other magnetic actuators.

Target markets include industrial and laboratory automation with applications such as pick & place machines, inspection- and test-equipment, robotics and machine-tooling.

The IT3402L encoder kit with scales of various lengths and an Evaluation and Programming Tool can be ordered on the POSIC website.
