VRO™ Digital Readout Spec Sheet

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Velmex offers a range of positioning systems designed for precision and versatility in scientific and industrial applications. The VRO™ Encoder Readout is a key component, providing precise position information using linear or rotary incremental encoders. It is compatible with both differential and single-ended encoders and can be used with Velmex's VXM™ Motor Controller and various slide assemblies.

Features
The VRO™ Encoder Readout features a compact design with an OLED display and DSP micro-controller technology. It supports one or two-axis motion control systems and offers high visibility, resolution, and low energy consumption. Additional features include automatic backup, sleep mode, internal self-diagnostics, and compatibility with 5V incremental encoders.

Configurations
The VRO is available in several configurations:
  • VRO-1: Single-axis encoder readout
  • VRO-2: Two-axis encoder readout
  • VRO-1B/2B: Versions with tilt base for easier reading
  • VRO1-H/2H: Versions with T-slot hinge for mounting

Specifications
The VRO has specific dimensions, weight, and electrical requirements. It operates within a temperature range of 35-95°F and relative humidity of 10%-90%. The display is a 2-line x 16-character OLED with a 2000:1 contrast ratio.

Options and Accessories
Various accessories are available, including tilt bases, power supplies, international adapters, remote controls, end caps, adapter cables, T-slot hinges, and protective vinyl bags.

Commands and Setup
The VRO supports a range of display mode and setup mode commands for configuration and operation. These include commands for enabling modes, clearing registers, displaying units, and sending status requests.

Encoders
Velmex offers inductive and magnetic linear encoders, as well as optical rotary encoders for use with the VRO readout. These encoders provide accurate position measurements and are compatible with various Velmex stages.

Conclusion
Velmex provides a comprehensive range of positioning solutions, including UniSlide®, BiSlide®, and XSlide™ assemblies, along with motor controls and digital readouts. Their products are designed to meet diverse application needs with precision and reliability.
