Absolute Encoder offers resolution from 2-32,768 ppr.

Press Release Summary:




Available with parallel or SSI absolute output, CoreTech CA6 Single-Turn Encoder is repeatable to 0.005° at speeds to 10,000 rpm. Electronic zero set aligns encoder zero position to mechanical zero position. Unit reads information from one circular barcode track, second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data. Both tracks are synchronized and read simultaneously by sensor array on hard-wired OPTO-ASIC.



Original Press Release:



60 mm Absolute Encoder with Any Resolution Ships in 3 Days or Less



DAYTON, OH - Stegmann Inc. introduces the new CoreTech CA6 Series Single-Turn Absolute Encoder. Available in any resolution from 2 to 32,768 ppr, the CA6 ships in just 2-3 days without any price adder. Alignment of encoder zero position to the mechanical zero position is quick and easy with an electronic zero set. The CA6 is available with parallel or SSI absolute output, and is repeatable to 0.005° at speeds up to 10,000 rpm.

The new CoreTech® concept from Stegmann uses a minimum number of very sophisticated components to achieve maximum variety: A proprietary hybrid OPTO-ASIC and a small, unique code disk.

In contrast to conventional absolute encoders with a continuous repetition of opaque and transparent fields on multiple concentric tracks on the code disk, CoreTech® reads the information from one circular barcode track. A second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data which, when synchronized with the data from the barcode track, results in high resolution and accuracy. Both tracks are read simultaneously by a sophisticated sensor array on the hard-wired OPTO-ASIC.

Stegmann is a wholly owned subsidiary of SICK AG in Waldkirch, Germany. Stegmann is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
