Renishaw: Resolute Drive Cliq Interface FS - Single readhead input (Standard) A-9796-0575

Renishaw's RESOLUTE true-absolute optical rotary and linear encoders are now available with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface to enable machine builders to achieve higher performance and greater reliability. Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ is an innovative, powerful communications interface to connect encoder and direct measurement systems with Sinumerik and Sinamics drive components. Renishaw RESOLUTE encoders determine their position immediately upon switch-on and so are particularly suitable for use in high-performance lathe spindles as well as DDR torque motors requiring high levels of precision and motion control integrity. Note that RESOLUTE encoders are available with several other serial protocols as well as DRIVE-CLiQ for connection to a variety of industry-standard drives and controllers.

RESOLUTE DRIVE-CLiQ encoders are said to offer outstanding motion control performance. RESOLUTE's operating principle is analogous to an ultra-high-speed digital camera, capturing images of the scale so that resolutions of up to 1nm can be achieved (32-bit on rotary) even at speeds up to 100m/s (36,000 rev/min on rotary). Advanced optics mean the detection scheme also has intrinsic low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE) and very low noise (jitter), so users can benefit from lower velocity ripple and solid positional stability.
