angle sensors
We can no longer supply the robolink® output encoders. Reason is that the chip supplier finished the production of the encoder chip. We have to block all AE Products now. This also concerns our RL-DCi compact units. We will have to redesign those for the use of motor encoders. For the next 4-8 weeks we will […]
Our customers can choose between motor encoders / Ini switches and igus output encoders (both incremental angle sensors). Motor encoder / INI (RL-D-RBT-xxxxx-BC): +) proven industrial standard, double ended signal transmission (A/A-, B/B-), high resolution (500 signals / motorturn * transmission of the joint) -) 3 cables per axis (motor, encoder, INI), reverse play of the […]
We control the position of our RL-D joints by using the motor encoder (of our igus stepper motors). In order to define a reference point (or ZERO position), an additional inductive initiator switch (=Ini) can be installed on the joint as an option. The spec. of the Ini switch is given below, it is the same […]
This submarine robot has been developped by our german customer Habib Nasri from Leibnitz University Hannover, iPeG Institute. It is fully submersible and it is gesture controlled. It contains 1 simple arm with 2 DOF and one more complex arm with 4 DOF, all robolink joints are equipped with our “under water angle sensors”. The 6 […]
We have noticed, that for some people it is not clear how our angle encoders work and how to make use of it. Here are some facts about them: 1) we use incremental encoders from AMS (AS5304A), absolute encoders are not possible in the current design, 2) in order to define the ZERO position for […]
