L70D ATOM miniature encoder system ATOM is the world s first miniature encoder with filtering optics, providing improvements in dirt immunity, signal stability and reliability for linear and rotary applications. ATOM features a number of other advances that help maintain signal stability, including integral Auto Gain Control and Auto Offset Control, along with a highly reliable IRED light source, making the product suitable for use in applications demanding quality and dependability. The miniature readhead is available in formats: hiflex cable output or FlexiblePrinted Circuit (FPC) output. The FPC version helps reduce overall package size, with a reduced Zheight and easy cable routing. ATOM is available with a range of highaccuracy optical linear and rotary scales, including conventional glass spars, unbreakable stainless steel tape scales and glass discs. Installation has been simplified by an intuitive setup LED on the readhead that indicates signal level. Optical reference mark phasing and incremental signal optimisation can be achieved with the simple press of a button. ATOM is suitable for use in a variety of applications that require compact size, including laser scanners, CMM arms, semiconductor manufacturing, compact linear motors/motion stages, small DDR torque motors, galvanometers and microscope stages. ATOM miniaturisation without compromise. Miniature package:. mm x.7 mm x. mm (7. mm x.7 mm x. mm for FPC version) Highest signal stability and dirt immunity in its class due to filtering optics Longterm stability provided by integral Auto Gain Control and Auto Offset Control Low SubDivisional Error (SDE) and jitter Easy installation and diagnostics using the setup LED on the readhead Fast, simple calibration at the push of a button Autophase optical reference mark Available in µm and 0 µm scale pitch versions Analogue output direct from the readhead Multiple interpolation options, with resolutions to nm Range of high accuracy rotary and linear scales
System features High performance u Need higher speed? ATOM is the fastest encoder in its class, with maximum speeds up to m/s and a range of highspeed interpolation options for digital versions. u Need higher accuracy? ATOM offers linear tape scales with specified overall accuracy to ± µm/m @ C, without the need for point compensation that competitor encoders require. u Need smoother velocity control? Reduce velocity ripple, improve scanning performance, reduce blur on vision systems and image capturing all thanks to ATOM s superior optical scheme and integral Auto Offset Control (AOC). u Need improved positional stability and repeatability? ATOM has low noise (jitter), allowing users to increase servoloop gain without instability, whilst reaping other dynamic performance benefits such as faster settling times and higher acceleration. Error (µm) 0 ±. µm 0 0 0 00 00 00 00 700 00 00 00 Position Typical accuracy for a m length of RTLF µm scale Lissajous stability ATOM features a miniaturized version of Renishaw s unique filtering optics that are used in the TONiC encoder range. This optical scheme is tuned to a specific spatial frequency, so it rejects other harmonics, including those caused by dirt or other contaminants. The result is a Lissajous with high purity, that retains its fidelity even when the scale is exposed to contamination: ideal for applications where reliability is critical. Product range u µm and 0 µm readheads with highflex cable: for general purpose applications. Superior quality cable tested to million flex cycles. u µm and 0 µm readheads with FPC cable: side exit FPC cable allows the smallest overall package size. u Stainless steel tape scale (RTLF): highaccuracy scales with graduations directly marked onto the steel tape surface. Available on reels for cuttosuit flexibility. u Glass linear spars (RCLC): conventional glass scales, available in lengths up to 0 mm. u Glass discs (RCDM): highaccuracy rotary scales with outer diameters down to 7 mm.
ATOM interface options ATOM readheads are available in three versions all giving industry standard analogue output: u High flex cable terminated with a way Dtype connector for highvolume users requiring analogue outputs. NOTE: A CAL button is not included on this option. Refer to installation guide for details on how to calibrate. u High flex cable terminated with a Ttype interboard connector for use with ACi/Ri/Ti interfaces. u FPC connector for use with ACi interface or direct connection to user electronics. ACi interfaces are a range of high performance, miniature, open interpolator subsystems. They bring unparalleled priceperformance benefits to today s motion systems that need fine resolution coupled to high speed performance in an ultra compact, open format, small footprint solution and have provision for calibrating the system. Digital interpolation down to nm at up to MHz clocked output is available. FPC or cable input versions available. Ri interfaces are contained within an industry standard way Dtype connector shell, including CAL button. They offer digital interpolation down to 0 nm (clocked) and 0. µm (nonclocked). Analogue variants are also available. Ti interfaces are designed for applications that require higher speed, lower SDE, digital interpolation down to nm resolution and include a CAL button. Clocked outputs have been optimised for speed and performance at all resolutions for industrystandard controllers. Analogue variants are also available.
