As the thirst
for storage capacity grows, the market also demands greater efficiency
and cost effectiveness. This has fueled the development of higher
and higher capacity disk drives. At the same time OEMs have to continue
lowering the cost per Mbyte for each succeeding hard drive generation.
For hard drive OEMs to meet their performance, production and cost
targets, new technologies need to be incorporated... |

Now Engineers can simplify control system designs or eliminate cumbersome interpolation modules with the new Mercury 1500 digital encoder. The M1500 digital encoder makes this possible by integrating signal processing and interpolation electronics on a single chip inside the sensor. This makes the M1500 a truly plug and play digital encoder. With a sensor just 8.4mm tall, this high performance digital encoder enables the use of smaller stages and smaller drive motors, thereby lowering system costs. Smaller, lighter motion stages also improve system performance with |
high throughput,
lighter weight and smaller footprint. The M1500 has factory set
interpolation levels of x4, x8, x20, or x40 for fixed resolution
ranging from 5um to 0.5um linear and 10,000 CPR to 655,000 CPR rotary.
Accuracy is ± 3um to ± 5um linear or ± 2.1
arc-sec rotary. ± 1um accuracy is available. Maximum speed
is 7.2 m/s. A-quad-B output with an index window is standard. The
entire encoder is EMI shielded for noise immunity. |
