Customization: We offer tailored encoder lengths (L0) ranging from
1000mm to 3000mm, ensuring a precise fit for specific machine bed
dimensions.
Optical System & Encoding Principle:
Optical Sensing Mechanism: The encoder integrates a high-resolution
optical scanning system. As the reading head traverses the scale,
it detects the optical graduation patterns and converts them into
precise electrical signals for position feedback.
Advanced Code Patterns: The scale utilizes sophisticated optical
encoding techniques. We primarily implement Gray Code logic, as
opposed to natural binary codes.
Error Minimization: The utilization of Gray Code ensures that only
a single bit changes state between consecutive values. This
fundamental design characteristic effectively mitigates data
interpretation errors during rapid positioning transitions, thereby
enhancing overall system stability.
Resolution & Mechanical Design
Resolution & Precision
The resolution of an absolute optical encoder is fundamentally
determined by the density of the graduation patterns on the scale.
Higher resolution is achieved through finer pitch markings, which
directly translates to superior positioning accuracy. Resolution is
typically quantified in Bits or Counts Per Revolution (CPR).
Mechanical Engineering for Large-Scale Applications
The NC600 encoder is specifically engineered for application in
large-format CNC machine tools. It features a robust mechanical
structure characterized by:
Superior Rigidity: The design emphasizes structural integrity to
maintain stability under heavy loads.
Flexible Support Configuration: Additional mechanical supports can
be integrated at any position along the encoder axis. This feature
significantly enhances system rigidity and stability during
operation.
Extended Measuring Range: Available in lengths ranging from 1000mm
to 3000mm, catering to the requirements of large machine beds.
