Renishaw Ti20KD ATOM encoder - Interface

Description

ATOM™ is the world’s first miniature encoder
with filtering optics, providing improvements
in dirt immunity, signal stability and reliability
for linear, partial arc and rotary applications.
ATOM features a number of other advances that help maintain
signal stability, including integral Auto Gain Control and
Auto Offset Control, along with a highly reliable IRED light source,
making the product suitable for use in applications demanding
quality and dependability.
The miniature readhead is available in 2 formats: hi-flex cable output
or flexible-printed circuit (FPC) output. The FPC version helps reduce
overall package size, with a reduced Z-height and easy cable routing.
ATOM is available with a range of high-accuracy optical linear,
partial arc and rotary scales, including conventional glass spars,
‘unbreakable’ stainless steel tape scales and glass discs. Installation
has been simplified by an intuitive set-up LED on the readhead
that indicates signal level. Optical reference mark phasing and
incremental signal optimisation can be achieved with the simple
press of a button.
ATOM is suitable for use in a variety of applications that require
compact size, including laser scanners, CMM arms, semiconductor
manufacturing, compact linear motors / motion stages, small DDR
torque motors, galvanometers and microscope stages.
