Counters and Timers
Orbit Controls counters and timers are designed for connection to practically all industrial sensors and pulse sources . They can be used as process monitors to display the process variable to be measured or as process controllers for control and monitoring tasks. The devices display and process pulses and frequencies, as well as quadrature signals from incremental and absolute encoded rotary encoders. In addition to information on the display, the devices also generate data and analog outputs and monitor preselected limit values. The process parameters are entered via the keyboard so that the display is calibrated in the required units and the output signals, serial interfaces and limit values are optimized.

Draw Wire Sensors
Draw wire sensors offer a simple solution to measure linear speed and position. Utilizing a flexible cable, a spring-loaded spool, and a sensor (an optical encoder with incremental, absolute, analog or potentiometric output), draw wire sensors can precisely measure linear position. Draw wire sensors do not need precise linear guidance and are ideal for wet, dirty, or outdoor environments and applications where your measuring range travels over harsh environments. These include applications in iron, steel, and wood (saw mills, joineries).

Incremental Encoders
Versatile, compact and flexible – Incremental encodersIncremental encoders are used when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required. These encoders provide information about the position, angle and number of revolutions. The number of lines per revolution determines the resolution. The current position can be determined by counting these pulses from a reference point. Upon activating the machine, a reference run to the reference point is required to determine the absolute position of the encoder.

Potable Coordinate Measuring Machines
Romer
A first in the world of portable measuring arms: The ROMER Absolute Arm features absolute encoders and is therefore the first measuring arm which does not require referencing before measurement. When the arm is turned on, it’s ready to go.Quality control, inspection, on-machine verification, reverse engineering, virtual assembly or 3D modelling. Wherever these needs arise, you will find the ROMER Absolute Arm. Much more than just a metrology tool, its value lies in its versatility.Portability, stability, light weight and high-performance laser scanners make the ROMER Absolute Arm an all-purpose 3D measurement, analysis and digitising tool that can be used by anyone, anywhere and with minimum training.Unlike many metrology devices, the ROMER Absolute Arm does not require warm-up time or initialization, thanks to a stable carbon fiber structure and industry leading Absolute encoders. Simply take the measuring arm to the part, switch it on and start measuring.

Absolute Encoders
US Digital designs and manufactures absolute encoders in both optical configurations, for the highest possible resolution and accuracy, and magnetic versions for demanding environments. In either case, absolute encoders report a shaft angle within a single 360-degree shaft rotation without stops or gaps. Unlike incremental (sometimes called "relative") encoders, absolute encoders provide true (absolute) shaft position, eliminating the need for a "home" or "zero" cycle after a supply-voltage power cycle.

Absolute Optical Encoder
A2
Product DescriptionRestriction of Hazardous SubstancesThe A2 absolute encoder is a non-contacting optical rotary position sensor which reports the shaft angle within a 360 deg. range. As opposed to incremental encoders, the A2 reports the absolute position rather than the change in position. When powered up, it does not require a home cycle, even if the shaft was rotated while the power was off. In multi-turn mode, it tracks the position in a 32-bit counter as long as the power supply is maintained. Internally, an infrared LED flashes through a circular bar code onto a linear array sensor. The microcontroller decodes the image into a unique position. All user programmable parameters such as resolution, origin, direction and mode are permanently stored in an internal EEPROM
