The CA6 is available with parallel or SSI absolute output and is repeatable to 0.0050 at speeds up to 10,000 rpm. Unlike conventional absolute encoders that rely on a continuous repetition of opaque and transparent fields on multiple concentric tracks on the code disk, the CoreTech CA6 reads the information from one circular barcode track. A second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data, which, when synchronized with data from barcode track, results in high resolution and accuracy, the vendor says. Both tracks are read simultaneously by a sensor array on a proprietary hybrid Opto-ASIC.
