Application Field

The light, highly accurate and robust HEDL-5500#G12 encoder is suitable for a wide range of applications in robotics, control, and motion-measuring. Its superior accuracy and resolution allow it to provide feedback in applications such as motor feedback control, robotic arms positioning, machine vision, and other machine automation.The HEDL-5500#G12 can also be used in applications requiring absolute position feedback of high resolution such as medical instrumentation, agricultural machinery, printing equipment, or even semiconductor wafer production.

Working Principle

The HEDL-5500#G12 encoder works on the principle of absolute optical coding. It uses two slotted plates that have encoded patterns on them; one slotted plate is stationary and the other one rotates. The two slotted plates are precisely aligned perpendicular to each other.As the moving plate rotates, light from an LED source passes through the slots in the plates. This light is detected by the photodiodes, resulting in an output signal. The output signal contains information about the position of the encoder, and this is used to provide accurate and reliable absolute position feedback.

Conclusion

The HEDL-5500#G12 encoder is a versatile and reliable absolute multiturn optical encoder that provides accurate feedback of up to 12 bits. With its robust and durable housing and advanced programming capabilities, it is suitable for a wide range of applications in robotics, motion control, and machine automation. It is also suitable for applications that require absolute position feedback of high resolution, such as medical instrumentation or semiconductor wafer production.
