The major advantage of an absolute encoder over an incremental encoder is that the absolute encoders keep track of position at all times ¡ªand provides position encoder as soon as the system gets power.
This feature is most useful in applications where the equipment has power turned off between uses.
Direct drive (DDR) rotary encoder tables eliminate backlash and provide a stiff mechanical system for highly dynamic applications. Integrated with precision bearings and ring encoders, these rotary tables provide ultimate performance in rotary indexing applications.
In the tables IntelLiDrives offers, the direct drive has a low profile of 42 mm. It has a large center aperture of 145 mm.
Resolution reaches 0.25 arc-sec. The incorporated absolute encoder has SSI, BISS-C, and FANUS connectivity. Matching drives are available.
