GLOBAL ABSOLUTE HEAVY-DUTY ENCODERS MARKET
INTRODUCTION
Absolute encoders are feedback devices that emit a digital word or bit in proportion to motion to offer speed and position information. Absolute encoders produce distinct words or bits for each position as opposed to incremental encoders, which produce a continuous stream of omnipresent pulses.
Absolute encoders are often utilised for a shaft revolution. These encoders use a network of cooled tracks to translate information about positions into unique positional information. These maintain their place even after the power is turned off. Additionally, they offer programming flexibility.
Absolute Heavy Duty encoders provide the exact angular position of shafts, such as the rotor shafts in electric motors or the wire drums at container cranes.
While multi turn encoders also supply the number of spins the encoder shaft has completed, single turn encoders only acquire the absolute position within one turn of the encoder shaft.
The absolute encoder shaft position is typically referenced during commissioning. In this manner, the requirement for reference travel following power-on is removed.
Absolute HeavyDuty encoders still provide the output of the incremental position, for example as HTL / TTL signals, for straightforward processing in speed controllers with incremental input, in addition to the absolute position output via serial digital interfaces like SSI or fieldbuses.
GLOBAL ABSOLUTE HEAVY-DUTY ENCODERS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
The global Absolute Heavy-Duty encoders market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
The cutting-edge FORTiS enclosed linear absolute encoder series is introduced by Renishaw, a leading name in metrology, for use in demanding settings like machine tools.
The FORTiS design offers great resistance to the intrusion of liquids and solid debris pollutants and is based on commercially successful RESOLUTE encoder technology.
It has a longitudinally linked interlocking lip seal, sealed end caps, and an extruded enclosure. A blade that passes through the lip seals along the length of the encoder connects the red head body to a sealed optical unit.
The redhead and optics travel along the linear axis without making mechanical contact with the encoder’s absolute scale, which is fixed to the interior of the container. Customers have two options for extrusion profiles to fit their needs for space.
The FORTiS-S linear encoder, which comes in measuring lengths of 140 mm to 3040 mm and is mounted directly to a machined surface via flexure holes in the extrusion’s body, is the standard-sized encoder.
The FORTiS-NTM encoder has a narrower cross-section extrusion and a more compact readhead to permit installations in small areas. It is available with measuring lengths ranging from 70 mm to 2040 mm. Two end cap mounting holes on this model allow for direct attachment to a machined surface, or a mounting spar for further strength.
A number of novel and ground-breaking design characteristics are highlighted by Ian Eldred, FORTiS Principal Mechanical Engineer at Renishaw. The result of years of R&D work at Renishaw is the new FORTiS enclosed absolute encoder line.
