POSITAL introduces new members of its IXARC family of rotary encoders that combine incremental and absolute rotation measurement capabilities in a single, compact package.

The combination of both measurement capabilities in a single device provides control system designers with extra flexibility. Moreover, the incremental signal can be used as a “heartbeat” that confirms that the sensor is functioning normally.

• Easy to Program with UBIFAST Configuration Tool
• Wide range of mechanical configurations and connector types
• Contact-free Measurement
• Any PPR up to 16384 Available
• Compact Size down to 36 mm Diameter
• Real-Time 16 bit Resolution
• Parameters to Program: PPR, Resolution, Number of Turns, Direction
•  

Absolute encoders provide the control system with an accurate report of the rotational angle and number of complete rotations of the encoder shaft at a specific point in time, they are an ideal solution for many machinery positioning tasks.
