Cutting-Edge Precision and Dynamic Performance

The COIN-series encoders are designed with integrated optical zero, ensuring bidirectional zero return repeatability. This high-precision feature is essential for applications that demand exceptional accuracy. The internal interpolation function eliminates the need for external interpolation boxes, streamlining the design and saving valuable space.

Capable of supporting speeds up to 8m/s, the COIN-series excels in high dynamic performance. This makes it suitable for a wide range of high-speed measurement applications, from coordinate measuring machines to microscope stages, where both speed and precision are critical.

Advanced Automatic Adjustment Functions

One of the standout features of the COIN-series is its automatic adjustment capabilities. The encoders include

automatic gain control (AGC), automatic offset compensation (AOC), and automatic balance control (ABC). These functions ensure stable signals and minimize interpolation errors, significantly enhancing measurement reliability and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

Robust and Flexible Electrical Connectivity

The COIN-series encoders offer both differential TTL and SinCos 1Vpp output signals, providing flexibility for various application needs. The encoders use 15-pin or 9-pin connectors, supporting load currents of 30mA and 10mA, respectively, with an impedance of 120 ohms. These robust electrical connections ensure reliable performance in diverse operating environments.

Easy Installation and High Compatibility

With dimensions of L32mm×W13.6mm×H6.1mm and a weight of just 7 grams (20 grams per meter of cable), the COIN-series encoders are remarkably compact and lightweight. The power supply requirements are minimal, operating at 5V ± 10% and 300mA. The encoders boast a position installation tolerance of ±0.08mm, simplifying installation and integration into various systems.

These encoders are compatible with CLS scales and CA40 metal disks, offering an accuracy of ±10μm/m, linearity of ±2.5μm/m, and a maximum length of 10 meters. The thermal expansion coefficient of 10.5μm/m/℃ ensures stability across different temperature ranges, maintaining accuracy in varying environmental conditions.

Customizable Ordering Options

The COIN-series offers various configurations to meet specific application requirements. The series number CO4 supports both steel tape scales and disks, with multiple output resolutions and wiring options available. Cable lengths can be customized from 0.5 meters to 5 meters, providing flexibility for different installation scenarios.

Enhanced Durability and Ease of Calibration

Utilizing large-area single-field scanning technology, the COIN-series encoders exhibit high resistance to pollution, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance even in challenging environments. The built-in EEPROM allows for saving calibration parameters, facilitating easy calibration to maintain accuracy over time.

Conclusion

The COIN-series Linear Optical Encoders represent a leap forward in high-precision measurement technology. With their advanced features, compact design, and robust performance, they are set to become a staple in industries where precision and reliability are paramount. Whether for coordinate measuring machines, microscope stages, or other high-precision applications, the COIN-series encoders provide the accuracy and performance that modern industries demand.
