It is also suitable for products or services requiring precise positioning for performance or accuracy.

HEDS-9720#L50 Working Principle

The HEDS-9720#L50 encoder module is a linear optical device that reads a pattern on a moving device or product and converts it into an analog or digital signal. The device relies on an optical reader that measures relative angular displacement or position of the product. The positional information is then translated into an electrical signal.

The HEDS-9720#L50 optical reader consists of two components – a light emitter and a detector array. The light emitter projects a pattern of light onto the surface of a rotating shaft. The detector array reads the shifting pattern of the illuminated surface and translates the data into two quadrature electrical signals – A and B. These two signals are then combined by the module to calculate angular displacement or position.

The module’s optical reader is designed to be zero-crossing sensitive, meaning that the light emitter and the detector array capture incremental changes in the pattern of a rotating shaft. This provides the module with precise positional information and eliminates any need for potentiometers. The module’s output signals are also TTL/CMOS compatible, further enhancing its utility for a variety of applications.

Conclusion

The HEDS-9720#L50 encoder module is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise positioning. Its optical reader is zero-crossing sensitive, allowing the module to accurately calculate angular displacement and position of the product. The module’s output signals are also TTL/CMOS compatible, making it ideal for a variety of industries including manufacturing, robotics, 3D printing, and more.
