  • Page 13: Technical Data

    Technical Data Resolution and Accuracy (Definition) Basically one has to differentiate between the resolution and the accuracy of a measuring system. The two parameters are not directly interdependent and may differ from each other. Resolution Resolution “A“ is defined as the smallest angular value that is still detected by the evaluating electronics (display, control) when the grating disk is turned relative to the scanning head. The resolution can be calculated using the following formula: A = Z ·...

  • Page 27: Mounting Of The Grating Disk

    Mounting of the Grating Disk To prevent deformation of the grating disk by external forces it is recommended to glue the disk to a hub (see image 16). Additionally the mounting and mechanical adjustment to a shaft will be simplified. The use of a rotary table for mounting will be recommended. For optical vernier adjustment of the grating disk an adjustment microscope with line marking in the intermediate image plane should be used. Recommended Mounting Steps: Clean all adhesive surfaces by using a soft and lint-free rag.

The surface of the grating disk is very scratch-sensitive.
  • Page 30 Notes NUMERIK JENA offers the mechanical mounting as well as the adjustment of the grating disk to a customized hub as a service. The manufactuing of the customized hub can be done by NUMERIK JENA also. The hub must be designed principally as prescribed in the following image.
  • Page 31: Mounting Of The Scanning Head

    Mounting of the Scanning Head • Clean all mounting surfaces of the scanning head and machine element before mounting. Remove the protection foil from the scanning window of the scanning head. • Clean the scanning head surfaces carefully by using a soft and lint-free rag. Use a solvent if necessary (e.g. Acetone or Alcohol).
  • Page 32 After connecting the encoder cable switch the evaluation electronics on and test the functionality. • If there are errors in the function or during measurement, please read chapter 10 “Troubleshooting” first. If these information are not helpful for your problem, please contact the technical support of NUMERIK JENA or an authorized subsidiary in your country. SIMPLY PRECISE...
  • Page 33: Signal Adjustment With Adjustment Tool

    • Adjustment of the position and width of the index signal Dynamic Offset and Amplitude Control (Online Compensation) The encoders of NUMERIK JENA are equipped with a dynamic amplitude and offset control (online compensation). The analog diode signals will be corrected to their nominal values in real time. This reduces measuring errors caused by contamination as well as from inaccuracies. The phase position between the sine and cosine signals and the position of the index signal are not influenced by the online compensation.

  • Page 35: Cleaning

    Cleaning • Depending on the measuring system‘s mounting attitude and the ambient conditions, it may be necessary to clean the grating disk and sensor surface of the scanning head (scanning window for counting and reference track) occasionally. • If the monitoring signal output by the scanning head is used, the encoder indicates that cleaning is necessary.

    The op-amp decouples parasitic frequencies and improves the interference immunity of the encoder under unfavorable conditions. The encoders from NUMERIK JENA are available without op-amp also. Thus it is possible to increase the scanning frequency which consequently enables higher speed of rotation.
