AMR58 is a multiturn optical encoder from Lika equipped with eight programmable cam outputs. Each output allows to switch a peripheral device by using the position signal of the integral encoder. In this way output signals are more precise and even actually "real time". For each output you can programme at desired points up to 120 so-called electronic cams, i.e. changes of state in each peripheral device. Then you can save the set configuration to the internal memory which allows you to store max. 16 programs. Four inputs enable to select the desired program on board, thus making also frequent changeovers more simple and quick. Zero setting and counting direction inputs are further implemented. The encoder can be programmed via RS-232 from any Windows PC using the software tool supplied for free. The encoder features a 20-bit multi-turn overall resolution (12-bit single-turn x 256 revolutions) and is offered in both connector and cable as well as radial and axial output versions. It comes in a compact enclosure with standard 58-mm diameter flange and solid shaft (Ø 6, 8, 9.52, 10, 11, 12 mm). IP65 protection rate. It is also available in single-turn version with 16 programmable cam outputs and an additional analogue interface.
