Linear Encoders Absolute

FAGOR absolute linear encoders: in absolute measurement, the position value is available at the encoder from the instant the unit is turned on and may be read at any time by the controller (CNC, PC, servo drive, DRO, etc.) to which it is connected.

The glass of the linear encoder has two different engravings:one is used to generate the incremental 1 Vpp signals (like on typical linear encoders).the other one is a binary code with a special sequence that avoids repetition all along the measuring length of the linear encoder.The absolute position is calculated using the data of that code read by means of a high precision optical sensor and some specific devices .
