Encoder technology plays an important role in many industrial applications for positioning, speed and distance measurement, and Automated Process Control (APC). The E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder is a high-precision, absolute rotary encoder used to measure linear and angular position and speed. This article will explore the application field and working principle of the E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder.

Application Field

The E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder is designed for use in manfacturing processes, packaging machines, robots, automotive production, and other servo-controlled equipment. It can be used as a primary form of feedback in control systems to measure linear and angular position and speed, as well as for transfer and synchronizing signals. The encoder is also capable of multi-axis servo systems, combining absolute rotary motion with positional data. Due to its high accuracy and resolution, the encoder can be used in applications requiring precise feedback control and repeatability.

The E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M also features magnetic sine and cosine outputs for positioning accuracy, eliminating the need for homing sensors and simplifying the installation process. The encoder is widely used in the manufacturing industry, such as in lathes, milling machines, molders, grinders, presses, and industrial robots, to detect the exact position and speed of the machine. By using the encoder’s output signals, the equipment can be accurately operated with repeatable precision, allowing for high-quality machining and production.

Working Principle

The E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder operates using a two-channel incremental signal system. The encoder is mounted on the rotating component of the system, such as a spindle, shaft, or wheel. The encoder then reads a pattern of alternating magnetic fields around the circumference of the encoder as it rotates. This pattern of alternating fields and the rate of rotation is detected by two channels of photodiodes mounted in the encoder.

The two channels of photodiodes convert the fields into two sine waves, and the waves are then combined into a single signal. This single output signal is sent to the controller, which processes the encoder’s output to determine the rate and position of the machine. By calculating the rate of change of the signal, the controller can accurately measure the linear or angular velocity of the system.

The main advantage of the E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder is its ability to provide highly accurate measurements. The encoder’s resolution is set at 20-bit return, meaning it can provide 0.02 arc second resolution. This high resolution ensures that the position and speed of the system can be accurately detected and that the output signal is highly repeatable.

The E6A2-CS3E 360P/R 2M encoder is a reliable and accurate solution for industrial applications that require precise feedback control. It is capable of measuring linear and angular position, speed, and synchronizing signals, and its high resolution ensures accurate and repeatable results. With its magnetic sine and cosine outputs, the encoder can be easily installed and used to improve the accuracy and performance of machines in the manufacturing industry.
