German REP INTERNATIONAL sensor REP INTERNATIONAL model REP INTERNATIONAL price

REP INTERNATIONAL sensors are components that convert changes in non-electrical quantities (such as speed, pressure) into changes in electrical quantities. Depending on the non-electrical quantity converted, they can be classified into pressure sensors, speed sensors, temperature sensors, etc., and serve as parts and accessories for measurement and control instruments and equipment.

REP INTERNATIONAL sensor structure

Consists of two parts: the scale grating and the grating readhead. The figure on the right shows the structure of the grating ruler. The key part of the grating detection device is the grating readhead, which consists of a light source, a condenser lens, an index grating, photoelectric elements, and adjustment mechanisms. There are many structural forms of grating readheads, which are classified into direct-receiving readheads (also known as silicon photovoltaic cell readheads, mirror-image readheads, beam-splitter readheads, and metal grating reflective readheads) based on their structural characteristics and application scenarios.

REP INTERNATIONAL sensor principle

The essence of a grating displacement sensor is to measure position using the grating pitch as a standard ruler. High-resolution grating rulers are generally expensive and difficult to manufacture. To improve system resolution, Moiré fringes need to be subdivided; grating ruler sensor systems mostly use electronic subdivision methods. When two gratings overlap with a slight inclination, Moiré fringes are generated in a direction roughly perpendicular to the grating lines. As the grating moves, the Moiré fringes move up and down accordingly. This converts the measurement of the grating pitch into the measurement of the number of Moiré fringes. Within the width of one Moiré fringe, placing 4 photoelectric devices at certain intervals enables electronic subdivision and direction determination. For example, for a grating ruler with 50 line pairs/mm, the grating pitch is 0.02mm. If four-fold subdivision is used, counting pulses with a resolution of 5μm can be obtained, which achieves high precision in general industrial measurement and control. Since displacement is a vector, both its magnitude and direction must be detected; therefore, at least two photoelectric signals with different phases are required. To eliminate common-mode interference, DC components, and even harmonics, differential amplifiers composed of low-drift operational amplifiers are typically used. The 4 photoelectric signals obtained from 4 photosensitive devices are sent to the input terminals of 2 differential amplifiers respectively. The two signals output from the differential amplifiers have a phase difference of π/2. To obtain direction determination and counting pulses, these two signals need to be shaped, first into square waves with a duty cycle of 1:1. Then, by comparing the phase of the square waves, the movement direction of the grating ruler can be determined. By counting the square wave pulses, the displacement and speed of the grating ruler can be obtained.

REP INTERNATIONAL sensor usage precautions

Power off before plugging or unplugging the connector between the linear encoder sensor and the digital readout. Install an external protective cover whenever possible, promptly remove chips and oil that splash onto the scale, and strictly prevent any foreign matter from entering the linear encoder sensor housing. Regularly check whether all mounting and connection screws are loose. To extend the service life of the dust-proof sealing strip, apply a thin, even layer of silicone oil to the sealing strip; take care not to let it splash onto the glass grating etched surface. To ensure reliable operation of the linear encoder sensor, periodically clean and wipe the linear encoder scale surface and the index grating surface with an ethanol mixture (50%) to keep the glass linear encoder scale surface clean. The linear encoder sensor must not be subjected to severe vibration or impact, as this can damage the linear encoder scale; if the scale fractures, the linear encoder sensor will fail. Do not disassemble the linear encoder sensor yourself, and never arbitrarily change the relative spacing between the main scale and the secondary scale; doing so may degrade the accuracy of the linear encoder sensor and may also cause relative friction between the main scale and the secondary scale, damaging the chrome layer and thus the grating lines, which renders the linear encoder scale unusable. Take care to prevent oil contamination and water from polluting the linear encoder scale surface, as this can disrupt the distribution of the grating lines and cause measurement errors. Avoid operating the linear encoder sensor in environments with severe corrosive effects, to prevent corrosion of the grating chrome layer and the linear encoder scale surface, which would impair the quality of the linear encoder scale.
