Encoders for Industrial Robots,
Motors and OEM applications
At recent SPS IPC Drives exhibition in Nuremberg Lika Electronic especially focused on the range of
encoders designed to be integrated into robotic systems as well as into motors and OEM applications.
They are compact and modular and tailored to exactly meet the specific needs
of the individual automation processes.
Among the latest innovations in our portfolio are:
• AMM8A optical modular encoder with resolution up to 20 x 14 bits, additional 1,024 periods/rev. Sine Cosine signal and BiSS interface;
• ASM36 ultra compact singleturn modular encoder with 21-bit resolution and SSI or BiSS interface for small AC servo motors and DC
brushless motors;
• SMLA bearingless absolute encoder + MRA262 segmented ring: the ring is made up of two separate parts, they are coupled and
fastened to large shafts up to Ø 190 mm / 7.48”;
• SMAB + MRAB flat ring: the poles are oriented axially and the low profile IP69K-protected sensing head is mounted over the flat
surface of the ring instead of radially as usually;
• ASC85, the 50 mm / 1.9685” through hollow shaft rotary encoder with stunning 25 bit singleturn resolution and high accuracy, perfect
for robotic systems, radars and antennas, military installations and advanced motor feedback systems.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the Robotics market to grow impressi-
vely at a CAGR of over 15% in Europe and at a CAGR of over 12% in
the USA by 2020. To meet the requirements of a such booming sec-
tor and of the automation world in general Lika Electronic develops
and manufactures specific custom-designed incremental and abso-
lute modular encoders, in both optical and magnetic configuration.
Lika’s products and solutions are engineered for direct integration
into automation systems that need compact and accurate devices
for high-precision position and speed feedback operations.
Both the mechanical characteristics (through hollow shaft bore dia-
meter, PCB shape and size, etc.) and the electrical features (resolu-
tion, interface, type of connection, etc.) can be easily and quickly
tailored to meet individual requirements.
Thanks to the compact and low-profile design, they can be integra-
ted comfortably, while the bearingless and contactless mechanics
preserves them from wear and fatigue.
Measuring systems with magnetic ring are further distinguished by
the high degree of protection (up to IP69K) and the very large bores
for installation in diameters up to 300 mm (11.811”).
The fully overmoulded electronics is an additional benefit and en-
sures excellent durability under harsh environments affected by
dirt, lubricants, dusts, etc. Sensing heads can be paired with custom
size rings in order to accurately and reliably detect position values
and speeds up to 100,000 rpm.
Optical modular encoders are very high resolution devices and
equipped with through hollow shaft, so they are ideally suited for
advanced industrial machinery, thru-bore motors and linear guides.
The high singleturn resolution up to stunning 25 bits and the
multiturn resolution up to 16,384 rev. allow also for real-time
control of very long travels.
