Highest accuracy with the 80µm-class for magnetic measuring
The German specialist for magnetic measuring BOGEN Electronic from Berlin conquers a big deficit of magnetic measuring: the mean accuracy. The X-class-encoders from BOGEN are based upon a pole pitch of 80µm. The measuring heads X-IKS9 and X-IKS15 read the pole pitch in a reading distance up to 240µm and reach an accuracy of 5µm and better.
BOGEN´s Managing Director Dr. Torsten Becker is pleased with the X-class: "The X-class-solution is a huge achievement: Higher accuracy, due to smaller structures and at the same time a higher reading distance. With these developments magnetic encoders are nearly on the same level as optical measuring solutions. Now product developers have a cost-saving alternative for challenging measuring applications. The time when competitors could brush-off magnetic measuring as an imprecise measuring solution is over."
With the pole pitch of 80µm you can read nearly the twentyfold pole quantity than using the common pole pitch of 2mm. BOGEN writes the small poles extremely precisely and the X-class measuring heads generate output data with highest accuracy. The measuring head X-IKS9 produces digital output signals and the X-IKS15 produces analog output signals. The X-class product line can solve high-precision measuring tasks in metrology, industrial automation and other applications. With BOGEN´s Engineer-to-Engineer-Program (E2E) BOGEN offers its customers specific custom-made measuring solutions which beat the expectations concerning accuracy and price.
The X-class product line was launched at SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg.
