Zettlex electromagnetic induction hollow ring shape absolute encoder
Zettlex IncOder MINI/MIDI/MAXI
An absolute encoder that, like a resolver, is designed for harsh environments and can achieve 22-bit high resolution and high precision. It is unaffected by condensation, oil, dust, or dirt.
Zettlex Overview and Features - A thin, hollow ring-shaped electromagnetic induction absolute encoder that can be easily and directly mounted on the final mechanical rotating parts such as large-diameter shaft axes. It contributes to improving system-level accuracy without the use of gears or reducers. - Can be directly mounted on shafts with diameters from Φ5 to Φ526 mm. - Maximum resolution of 22 bits (4.2 million divisions per rotation), with output formats including SSI, BiSS, and other serial outputs. - Composed of two ring-shaped substrates for the stator and rotor, it is thin, lightweight, completely non-contact detection, and has a bearingless structure. - The basic principle is similar to that of a resolver, allowing use in harsh environments such as condensation, oil, dust, dirt, and extreme temperatures. Standard products are IP67 rated, with an optional IP69 rating available. - Offers higher resolution (up to 22 bits) and higher accuracy (up to ±19 seconds) compared to resolvers, and does not require external circuits such as AD converters or multipliers. - Due to the 360° full circumferential integration detection, eccentric mounting of the rotor or shaft wobble is always compensated, having no effect on the output. - Not affected by motor magnetic fields. - Achieves high reliability and durability through a simple substrate structure and components. - Ideal for industrial equipment applications such as measuring instruments, manufacturing equipment, chemical and food plants, civil engineering equipment, machine tools, meteorological observation cameras and radars, and robots.

Applications/Examples of results
- Measurement equipment: Directly mounted on rotating tables, precise control of absolute position, etc. - Manufacturing equipment: Direct rotation detection of rotating parts of various automation devices. No need for sealing like optical types. - Chemical and food plants: Automation equipment handling liquids, chemicals, gasoline, etc. - Civil engineering equipment: Rotating parts of civil engineering equipment that generate oil, grease, dust, and dirt, making long-term maintenance difficult. - Machine tools: Rotational control parts of NC machine tools that generate cleaning liquids, oils, greases, and shavings. - Weather observation cameras, surveillance cameras, radar, antennas: Rotating movable parts of weather cameras, surveillance cameras, radar, antennas, etc., in environments with temperature and humidity differences prone to condensation. The hollow ring shape allows for cables to be passed through the center. - Robots: High-precision rotation detection that can be directly mounted on joint axes due to the large diameter ring shape, without going through reducers, etc.

Company information
Novanta Japan Co., Ltd. is the Japanese subsidiary of Novanta Inc. (USA), which provides some of the world's leading laser technologies. Just eight years after Dr. Maiman's groundbreaking invention of the first ruby laser, our predecessor, General Scanning Inc., was established. During the early days of lasers, General Scanning Inc. developed the galvanometer scanner, a device for laser positioning, while Lumonics Inc. was the first in the world to commercialize TEA CO2 lasers for industrial use. Since its founding in 1968 by engineers from MIT, the Novanta Group has provided various laser application process systems across a wide range of fields, including semiconductors, electronics, precision machinery manufacturing, and telecommunications. Furthermore, based on years of experience, we offer a wide range of products, including laser-related optical components, along with innovative technologies to the world.
