Engineers
need new technologies to make their designs deliver higher performance
and added flexibility
And they need all this at a lower cost.
One area that greatly affects this is motion stage design. Encoder
selection is critical to performance.

SmartPrecision,
The Worlds first programmable encoder software, allows engineers
to reprogram encoder resolution and output bandwidth dynamically.
In addition, the software provides diagnostic tools and remote communication
via the Internet.
Dynamic performance tuning
Getting the best performance from a motion platform requires the right
system resolution at the right motion speed.

The new Mercury 1000 analog encoder features small sensor size,
high speed, high resolution and high accuracy. SmartPrecision Alignment
Tool allows set up in minutes. No external gear needed; no pots
to adjust. Performance optimization is automatic.

For years engineers
have awaited the development of a high performance analog encoder
with ultra low Z height. Available encoders were either too tall
or too slow for many applications. Now the Mercury 1000 solves these
problems. It is smaller, faster, and less expensive than any encoder
in its class. The sensor is just 8.4 mm tall and it's compatible
with both linear and rotary applications. It features sine/cosine
output with a fundamental linear resolution of 20 microns; rotary
resolution is 2500 to 16,384 CPR.

electronics can interpolate resolution up to x256; a digital index
window output is also standard. The M1000's accuracy is outstanding:
standard linear accuracy is ± 3 to ± 5 microns with
± 1 micron available. Rotary accuracy is up to ± 2.1
arc-seconds. According to Don Mitchell, founder and CTO, "The
M1000 opens up new possibilities by enabling smaller, lighter equipment
designs that deliver higher speed and greater throughput."
