Spanish FAGOR absolute linear encoder

FAGOR Automation employs two detection methods for its absolute encoders:

Graduated glass scale: Linear encoders with a measuring length up to 3040mm use the transmission light method. Light emitted from the LED passes through the moving grating and the fixed grating before reaching the photoelectric receiver. The period of this electrical signal corresponds to the grating pitch on the glass.

Graduated steel tape: Linear encoders with a measuring length exceeding 3040mm use the reflection light method. The scanning system uses an LED as the light source for the encoder. The light passes through the moving grating, reflects off the surface of the graduated steel tape, and then reaches the photoelectric receiver. This special design is patented by FAGOR Automation.

The two detection methods utilize two different grating graduation techniques:

Incremental graduation: Generates square-wave incremental signals converted within the readhead, commonly used in CNC systems that receive digital position signals. It can also generate 1Vpp sinusoidal analog signals as required by the CNC system.

Absolute graduation: Consists of a unique binary code along the measuring length of the encoder. FAGOR Automation uses high-precision photoelectric devices to read this binary code and calculate its absolute position.

Enclosed housing

Features a robust aluminum alloy housing to protect the internal graduated glass scale. As the scanning unit moves along the aluminum housing, plastic sealing lips prevent cutting fluids and other contaminants from entering the housing. The scanning unit, which moves along the graduated glass scale, has an optimized structure that accurately reflects machine tool displacement. Since the scanning

unit uses precision bearings, movement friction is minimized. Air inlet ports are provided at both ends of the linear encoder and on the scanning unit; connecting compressed air improves the sealing rating of the encoder against ingress of contaminants and liquids.

Depending on machine tool requirements, the appropriate Spanish FAGOR absolute linear encoder can be selected based on the following criteria:

Installation space: Selection is based on measuring length and available installation space, which is critical for determining the type of linear encoder to use.

Accuracy: Each linear encoder is supplied with an accuracy chart and inspection certificate.

Signal: Select the encoder type based on the communication protocol of the connected control system.

Resolution: Select the corresponding linear encoder based on the machine tool's resolution requirements.

Cable length: Transmission distance varies depending on the signal type.

Compatibility: The selected signal type must be compatible with the control system.

Speed: Select the type of linear encoder based on the motion speed.

Shock and vibration: FAGOR Automation offers encoders rated up to 20g and 30g levels.
