Field Programmable Encoder

1 to 4096 counts per revolution

BEI H25 encoder series has literally 215 part numbers for different resolutions. Combine these with various output voltage configurations (3904, 7406, 3302, 681, 689, 7272, 4469 etc) and you literally have more than 10,000 models. Dynapar & Rockwell are not that different. This presents a major challenge to the user community, particularly plants that have equipment coming from different machine manufacturers.

Plant stock room has to carry a large inventory and it is not uncommon to not have the one you need in an emergency.

To solve this problem, some encoder manufacturers have recently introduced their programmable encoders, but the problem with these encoders is two fold:

You have to unplug the output connector/cable, it takes a computer software and special cable to program it and hence it can only be done on the bench.
It is oversized and too expensive.

Smart-Encoder™, solves both these problems. you can program the counts/rev while it is installed on the machine, without any laptop, special USB cable or software. It has an LED display to be able to check its operation on the spot as it shows counts and RPM. On top of all this, Smart-Encoder™ costs less than the current industry standard fixed count encoders from BEI, Dynapar, Rockwell and others. As can be seen from its specifiactions, its mechanical as well as electrical specifications are at par, if not better, than these other encoders.

Autotech Meets Your Application's Needs

Today's and tomorrow's motion control applications all have one need in common: reliable and accurate positioning feedback. Autotech Controls, built on the technology of position feedback over the past 40 years, continues to ensure precise machine control through it's line of Incremental and Absolute Rotary Encoders.

Applications:

Encoders are used in mechanical motion applications to determine the position, speed and direction. Many of industrial control systems today need to be able to get the position and speed feedback in rugged environments in order to operate. Such applications/industries include: metal stamping, can manufacturing, steel, tire, plating lines, drag lines, earth moving machinery, farm machinery, conveyors, oil drilling, packaging, dam/gate control, assembly, medical, dairy, food processing, semiconductor manufacturing, cranes, military, tank-turrets, textile, converting, printing, palletizing, ware-house control and numerous other industries.

Incremental Rotary Encoders

The resolver is a highly accurate and highly dependable device for absolute position shaft encoding. Resolvers have a reliable track record of applications in aerospace, military, and industry, where they have been used for decades for position sensing. Some of the common applications are radar antenna position sensing, missile guidance systems, NC machine position feedback, automotive stamping presses, 2-piece-can manufacturing presses and packaging machines. Unlike incremental encoders, the resolver is designed to operate reliably under extremely hostile environments such as continuous mechanical shock, vibration, extreme temperature and humidity changes, oil mist, coolants and solvents.

The resolver is a passive transducer. It is a brushless rotary transformer with one rotor and two stator windings. The stator windings are electrically 90º out-of-phase with each other. As the shaft rotates, the relative position of the rotor and the stator windings change. Either the rotor or the two stator windings together can be used as the primary of the rotary transformer and the secondary will then produce and analog-voltage corresponding to the shaft position.
