Press Release Summary:
CoreTech® CA20 Series features factory configurable sensor module that allows for creation of any resolution from 2 to 32,768 ppr. Encoders include electronic zero position set and parallel or SSI absolute output. They utilize hybrid OPTO-ASIC and small code disk to condense position information into one circular barcode track. Second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data. Both tracks are read simultaneously by sensor array on hard-wired OPTO-ASIC.Original Press Release:
2-3 Day Shipment on Any Resolution Absolute Encoder, without Price Adder
DAYTON, OH - Stegmann, Inc. introduces CoreTech® CA20 Series 2" Absolute Encoders. The CA20 Series features a factory configurable sensor module that allows for the creation and shipment of any resolution from 2 to 32,768 ppr in just 2 to 3 days, without any additional costs to the user.
Features include an electronic zero position set and parallel or SSI absolute output. A differential sensing principle guarantees high signal quality and noise immunity, and fewer electronic components and built-in monitoring functions enhance reliability. The CA20 is the only known absolute encoder available today to reduce the form factor of 15 bit absolute feedback to a 2" housing size while maintaining a direct read from the code disk.
The new CoreTech® concept 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 encoders that have continuous repetitions of opaque and transparent fields on multiple tracks on the code disk, CoreTech® condenses the position information into 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 higher 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 Max Stegmann GmbH in Donaueschingen, Germany. Stegmann is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
