ULTRA-COMPACT LOW HARMONICS SENSOR TECHNOLOGY OPENS-UP NEW OPPORTUNTIES IN FACTORY AUTOMATION Merging the precision of optical sensing with the durability and cost-efficiency of magnetic systems are among the key features and benefits of a new compact EB260 encoder recently introduced by Sensor specialist BAUMER. This new Low Harmonics encoder technology opens up new opportunities in drive technology and factory automation and thanks to its ultra-compact design with only 11mm installation depth, fits into applications where space is restricted. Furthermore, its multiple parameterisation options mean simple integration into existing automation environments. What are the benefits of LowHarmonics signal processing? This sophisticated Baumer technology eliminates signal errors caused by installation, temperature, ageing, or mechanical factors and therefore ensures maximum precision. Additionally, this smart condition monitoring features an integrated Airgap monitor which continuously detects the distance to the magnetic rotor and reports even the slightest non-compliance due to damaged machine mechanics to the higher-level control system. The encoder operates on non-contact sensing and hence is free from wear, immune to shocks and shaft currents, resulting in maximum reliability in drive technology and factory automation. The conclusion is that LowHarmonics is unique in the way of merging high-precision and superior reliability and the new EB260 encoder further expands the pioneering technology of the Baumer product range of innovative sensors and encoders.
