It attests that Lika Electronic places the utmost importance in the quality, safety and reliability of its products and every...

WEEE and end-of-life disposal information Directive 2012/19/UE (as previous 2002/96/EC) is intended, as a first priority, to prevent waste electric and electronic equipment (hence the acronym WEEE) from being introduced into the unsorted waste stream; and in addition to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. Furthermore it encourages the “ecological” design and production of electrical and electronic equipment which take into account and facilitate dismantling and recovery, in particular the re-use and recycling of WEEE,...

LINEPULS • LINECOD Technical information Linear encoders Linear encoders are measuring systems that generate signals in response to a linear motion. They are specifically designed to convert a linear motion into either analogue/digital electrical signals or a digital code in order to determine the change in position. They basically consist of a readhead (oxtherwise referred to as sensing head hereinafter) and an active measurement scale, namely a magnetic tape (sometimes a passive measurement tape could be used in specific applications -for instance a ferromagnetic toothed structure. For...

LINEPULS . LINECOD Technical information Linear encoders can be incremental or absolute. Incremental encoder Incremental linear encoders produce square waves signals or sinusoidal signals and can provide travel, position and displacement information. Positional information is cyclical, thus relative and ambiguous; this means that you can gather whether the axis is moving and the direction of the movement; yet you cannot get information about its absolute posi- tion. To compensate for this glitch the homing operation is always required at the beginning of the process to determine the...

LINEPULS • LINECOD Technical information The magnetic tape is the carrier of the incremental and absolute encoded position information. Magnetic tape It is primarily made up of a bonded ferrite material where the datum position is coded. During the encoding process, the sensitive material is magnetized to obtain either a systematic sequence of North-South poles with alternating magnetic field having the same pole pitch dimension (incremental version) or a coded sequence of North-South poles generating an absolute pattern (absolute version). Sometimes the absolute encoders are paired with a...

LINEPULS • LINECOD Technical information There are two types of magnetic tapes for incremental encoders: MTx tapes and MTSx tapes. MT tapes are 10 mm wide while MTS tapes are 5 mm wide. As in an incremental measuring system the tape has a systematic sequence of North and South poles recurring indefinitely, there is virtually no limit to its measuring length (see on page 14). Standard incremental tapes up to 100 m long can be supplied, they can be cut to length accorwding to application requirements. You are required to indicate the desired size under the option LENGTH in the order code....

LINEPULS • LINECOD Technical information Linear sensors are equipped with high-flex cables especially suited for use in cable drag chains and tested for more than 1 million cycles. Furthermore they are expressly designed for high speeds up to 10 m/s and accelerations up to 6 m/s2. They are halogen free and resistant to oil, hydrolysis and abrasion. For more details please refer to page 118. When choosing an encoder model, please consider the noise and the cable length that could affect the system and reduce its performances. Longer cable lengths are more susceptible to noise. It is crucial...
