Accurate robots for high-precision applications FANUC Secondary Encoders Benefits of using extra encoders: • ultra-high levels of accuracy and repeatability • controls vibration and overshoot • reduces robot deflection • compensates for bending due to torque • features reliable optical detection

Maximum precision and stiffness To further enhance the accuracy of a robot on critical processes demanding ultimate precision it is feasible to use a FANUC Secondary Encoder. FANUC robots equipped with optional secondary encoders are specifically designed for processes, such as flow screw drilling, roller hemming or aerospace applications, that require robots to exhibit a high degree of mechanical rigidity and accuracy. Deviation compensation Motor pulse coder Axis output position detection Sensor head Base Reducer Eliminates error caused by reducer/gear backlash and distortion by detecting the...
