Precision, speed, dynamic, stiffness and a high level of control quality – these are the features that play an important part in high-end applications of drive technology. The TTK50 linear measuring system meets all these requirements.
It is a very compact motor feedback system with a HIPERFACE® interface. The magnetic principle of operation, the large measured lengths and the very high resolution open up a multitude of applications for absolute position determination on linear motors.
Inside, the TTK50 features the latest sensor and evaluation technology. The sensor board aligned with the measuring plane is equipped with hall sensors on two parallel tracks. Their arrangement corresponds to the division of the magnetic tape into an incremental and an absolute component.
To calculate the absolute position values during operation, the read head first records the absolute initial position when the linear motor starts. Then all other actual positions of the drive are determined via the incremental position on the magnetic track or sine/cosine signals.
