High-precision Programmable Magnetic Encoder System
The CMIX3 series is a magnetic measuring system for linear and rotation applications with the highest resolution and a travel speed of up to 100 m/s. The high resolution makes the sensor compatible for applications where previously only optical measuring systems could be used. Both the required evaluation electronics and an interface for programming various software parameters are integrated in the sensor head. This means that the system can be flexibly adapted to the needs of the application, and this can be done conveniently via cable even when installed. An error display via RGB LED as well as the integrated error memory accelerate problem finding and shorten downtimes. Thanks to the non-contact magnetic measuring principle, the system operates Completely maintenance-free and wear-free. CMIX3 AT A GLANCE - High resolution - up to 16 nm (X4 encoding) - Super fast - high output frequency of 32 MHz (counts/s) - Smart - customer-specific functions can be retrofitted by software add-ons - Fexible - parameters such as resolution, index pulse width, hysteresis, etc. can be configured via cable even after installation - Convenient - firmware updates in-field via cable possible - Robust - robust zinc die-cast housing, optimal EMC protection, IP67 - High availability - error display via LED as well as the integrated error memory accelerate problem finding and shorten downtimes -Linear & Rotary - for linear and rotary applications
Encoder System - Compact, Flat & Light
CMAX2 is a magnetic absolute miniature measuring system with up to 20 bit resolution, designed for measuring lengths up to 192 mm or for rotary applications with a diameter of approx. 61 mm. The flat housing, which is only the size of a thumbnail, houses the sensors and evaluation electronics. Due to its minimal size and low weight, CMAX2 is particularly suitable for integration in space- and weight-critical applications, such as position and angle measurement in robots, torque motors, servo motors, etc.. AT A GLANCE - Space- and weight-saving installation solution - Magnetic absolute measurement with up to 20 bit resolution - Communication via BiSS-C or SSI - Additional incremental output signals (ABZ quadrature signals, 5 V TTL)
