OVER 30 YEARS PROVIDING SOLUTIONS FOR THE MACHINE-TOOL INDUSTRY Since 1975, Fagor Automation has been manufacturing linearand rotary encoders based on optical technology. Atechnology that has always taken preference over othertechnologies due to its high quality and performance characteristics. Throughout the years Fagor have refined many aspects of the design of the scales and today offer one of the highest quality linear encoder products on the market, a claim endorsed by independent tests conducted by many of our customers. > FAGORS EXPERIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR OTHER SECTORS The success...

OPTICAL DESIGN Fagor use both optical transmission and reflection intheir range of encoder products. By incorporating innovative new scanning techniques such as Fagors patented three-phase system and the single-field system and by using specially developed optical receivers it is possible to achieve high quality signals which can be interpolated to achieve sub micron resolutions with minimal interpolation error (<2%). MECHANICAL DESIGN Fagors mechanical developments over the past 30 years have resulted in some of the most innovative and effective methods for minimising the effects of harsh...

Absolute linear encoders offer an accurate, fast and direct method to achieve positional data immediately without the need for machine references. Sub micron absolute positional data is generated using both a coded (pseudo-random) track and an incremental track. POSITION DATA INSTANTLY ON MACHINEPOWER-UP FAGOR absolute encoders provide positional data from the moment the machine is turned on and also on request from the CNC. This results in more efficient operation and removes any need for home switches onthe machine. DIGITAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Fagor offer two...
