High-resolution measurement of angles and positions using an absolute encoder

There is an increasing demand for high-resolution angle and position measurement using absolute encoders.
Combined with the CNT-49 series (custom-made: ASL specifications), measurements can be made easily and precisely.

- Zero-setting is troublesome every time the power is turned on again.

- To avoid counting errors when the measurement target moves at high speed.

- To measure rotation and position with high accuracy and high resolution.

- Want to know the absolute angle to the origin, not the relative angle.

Why Choose Us?: Features of Absolute Encoders and Meters

Absolute encoder

- High accuracy: 
High-precision measurement and positioning. No counting errors even when the measuring object moves at high speed,
making them suitable for high-precision systems.

- The position at power-on is immediately known: 
Absolute position information is immediately available when power is turned off and on again.

- No need to return to the origin: 
No need to return to the origin each time, leading to improved work efficiency.

- Support for multiple rotations: 
Multiple rotations can be detected, allowing measurement of a wide range of angles.

- Compact size: 
Compact: Multiple slits can be placed on a single code wheel, making it compact even with high accuracy.


Measuring instrument (custom made for CNT-49 series)

- RS-232C output:
Continuous data output is possible.

- RS-422 serial communication (input):
