Technology

With Direct, Absolute Multi-Dimensional, Multi-Axis position sensing, PreciLabs' patented technology:

• is the first industrial, multi-dimensional encoder solution on the market,
• increases resolution and accuracy of absolute position sensing thanks to the direct, contactless approach and goes beyond the fundamental limits of todays 1D linear and rotary encoders,
• enables high speed up to 100kHz,
• and improves reliability, safety thanks to scalable redundancy of the patented 2D absolute codes,
• compensates static assembly tolerances and dynamic tolerances due to thermal and mechanical load variations in operational environment.

PreciLabs proprietary 2D absolute position encoding and real-time 2D absolute position decoding techniques (patent pending) enable the reading of the 2D absolute position of a 2D absolute code printed on a surface:

• High Precision (sub-nanometer)

• Very high position refreshment cycle (>100kHZ)

• Large sensor/scale travel speed (200m/s)

• Practically infinite scale dimension (>500e6 km2)

• Best in class error detection and correction

• Scale damage and/or contamination up to 50%

• Highest safety integrity level

• Compensation of static and dynamic tolerances

• Easy, low-cost printing and installation e.g. self-adhesive tapes in arbitrary lengths / segments

• Compact, low-cost, single-ASIC solutions

• Condition monitoring, early detection of failure

• Deformation sensing

• LASER marking reading on shiny steel surface (e.g. hydraulic piston rod)

• Can serve Multi-dimensional, 2-6D absolute position sensing
