Celera Motion introduces the new Veratus™ precision optical encoder
series from MicroE, designed for ease of installation and robust
performance in a wide range of advanced industrial, medical,
microelectronics and scientific applications. The automatic calibration
feature of Veratus makes it easy for OEMs to get their system up and
running quickly without any complicated set-up procedures, tools or
additional electronic components.
Veratus is the first MicroE encoder built using the company's new
VeraPath™ optical technology, delivering the reliability, signal
stability, and dirt immunity required in many applications. VeraPath
technology is designed to filter out signal disturbances caused by
scratches, debris or contamination and effectively eliminates accuracy
errors resulting from flatness variations typical with metal scales. The
results enable users to achieve high levels of accuracy with both metal
tape and glass scales and make Veratus a robust solution for long and
short travel linear axes and for rotary axes.
Since all interpolation, automatic gain control, and signal processing
is performed in the sensor head, no additional special adaptors are
required. Veratus is capable of resolutions down to 20 nanometers and is
the smallest encoder system in its class, with a sensor body that is
only 35 x 13.5 x 10mm (1.38 x 0.53 x 0.39 inches).
The contamination resistance of VeraPath technology combined with its
compact size and ease of set-up, as well as its availability with both
digital and industry-standard 1 Vpp analog output, make Veratus the
ideal encoder for a variety of applications including precision linear
and rotary positioning stages, coordinate measuring machines, optical
scanning and inspection, medical robotics, laboratory and pharmacy
automation, printed circuit board assembly and electronics packaging,
and industrial robotics.
Shipping now, Veratus will be available in OEM production quantities
in March 2016.
