Automation / Robotics Electronics absolute Encoder hollow-shaft multi-turn rotaryELECTROMATE Netzer VLM-60 multi-turn, hollow shaft absolute rotary encoder is a suitable solution for smooth and continuous production with limited space. Product is a low profile, often used in multi-axis machinery, servo motors machine tools or robots and process machine manufacturing. Unit ensures the accuracy and reliability demanded by these applications. A 17-bit single-plus-15-bit multi-turn resolution ensures smooth and continuous production since the master reads the multi-turn positions from the encoder both at start-up and throughout the operation. In case of a power outage or a machine shutdown, the device maintains the multi-turn absolute position by utilizing an internal battery or an external power source.
