Featuring built-in eccentricity compensation
and wide tolerance alignments, the groundbreaking line now offers
new sizes and capabilities for high-volume OEM applications
including cobots and surgical robots
Celera Motion, an award-winning business unit of Novanta Inc.,
today announced new sizes and capabilities for its AuraTM Absolute
Chip Encoder Series of rotary and linear optical encoders with
MicroE technology.
The new Aura encoder line extension products will meet all the
typical sizes needed in a robot arm, from small end effectors at
the end of the arm to the upper shoulder joints.
“This new product will be an incredibly precise and highly
accurate encoder in a small package to meet customers’
high-performance needs,” said Mike Mainvielle, VP Product
Management and Marketing, Celera Motion. “We are excited that
Aura-C will offer an easily integrated, low-power absolute encoder
option that will help in the advancement of demanding customer
applications.”
Aura is an optimal solution for high-volume OEM applications
including:
- Surgical robots
- Cobots, robot joints and grippers
- Exoskeleton and wearables
- Semiconductor
The Aura line extension enables an even wider range of
customizable scale sizes, along with standard glass offerings
ranging from 18 mm to 63.5 mm rotary OD and new-to-market linear
scales lengths ranging from 9 mm to 195 mm.
“Our focus has been to advance the performance of our optical
encoder products over the past couple years,” Mainvielle said. “The
Aura for large rotary and linear scales is a fitting line extension
to that growing product line.”
Aura solves the largest source of angular error, eccentricity,
which is caused by off-center scale mounting and bearing runout.
Two encoders are often employed to compensate for the error
increasing cost and power consumption. Aura solves the eccentricity
problem with its built-in compensation algorithm thereby
eliminating the need for the second encoder.
Among Aura’s other benefits:
- Absolute position feedback for high performance, high
volume designs
- High resolution and accuracy for precision control
needs
- Wide alignment tolerances provide ease of integration
resulting in higher productivity
- Built-in eccentricity compensation for minimal angle
error and easier installation
- Low-power dissipation for tight temperature budget
applications
- Comprehensive connectivity meets industry standard
interface requirements: BiSS-C, SSI & SPI
- AqB plus index provides additional incremental data to
be used as secondary position information
- Global application support available to meet customer’s
integration challenges.
