Magnetic encoder system
AL8200 is used as feedback system for AL8000 linear motors. The
installed Hall sensors measure the magnetic field of the magnetic
track, so that no additional measuring element needs to be mounted
parallel to the magnetic track.
Part-absolute positioning
The alternating magnetic field of the magnetic track generates a
sine-cosine waveform. Part-absolute positioning is thus possible
within one signal period. This means that a commutation determina-
tion only has to be carried out once during initial commissioning.
The encoder signals can be used for commutation, speed and posi-
tion control.
Absolute positioning is not possible with the AL8200.
Analog output signal
The position is forwarded by the AL8200 as an analog SinCos signal
to the servo drive. The servo drive must be suitable for reading ana-
log linear feedback systems, such as AX5000.
Accessories for AL8000
AL8200 can only be used as an accessory for the AL8000 linear
motors. The installed Hall sensors are adapted to the pole pair dis-
tance (24 mm) of the AL8000.
Dust-protected IP64 housing
The MES is fully potted and IP64 protected, making the product
dustproof and suitable for temporary submersion.
