Description

Construction and design


The measuring unit comprises a scanning unit and a measuring scale. The system does not need dedicated bearings for this task, as the measuring scale is mounted directly on the shaft. The market-optimised system operates contactlessly and is extremely compact.
Sensors, magnet and electronics are manufactured using the latest micro system technology and are fully encapsulated,as such they are particularly resistant to shocks and vibration. A further advantage of this system is that it is maintenance and wear-free and therefore reduces operating costs.


Output signals (signal pattern)


The MiniCODER basic outputs square-wave signals with TTL level. In addition, it evaluates signals from a reference gap (TG).

Reference marks


The MiniCODER basic can detect reference marks in the form of a gap. This reference pulse detected can be used for referencing the position.
The selection of the reference mark is defined by the size and rotational speed of the target wheel used, as both parameters have an effect on the forces acting on the reference mark.


Reference mark G - gap


On a target wheel a tooth is milled away over half the width of the tooth wheel. In this way there is a gap in the reference track that is detected.

Interpolation factor


The sin/cos signals generated in the encoder are interpolated and output as square-wave signals. The interpolation factors 1, 2, 4 and 8 are available. The interpolation is undertaken directly in the sensor.
On the usage of a target wheel with 250 teeth and the selection of an interpolation factor of 8, the MiniCODER basic provides 2000 square-wave signals per turn.


Module


The module describes the relationship between the number of teeth and the outside diameter of a target wheel. Given the same number of teeth the following applies: the smaller the module the smaller outside diameter.

The MiniCODER must be ordered to suit the target wheel.


Connection type


The MiniCODER basic are supplied with a flying lead.

Target wheels


For the measurement of rotary movements, MiniCODERs form a unit together with target wheels. The target wheel size and the related diameter depend directly on the module and the number of teeth.


Standard target wheels

Standard target wheels are available on short delivery times from stock. For specifications and designs see "Technical information ZAx / ZFx".
