Within the food and beverage industry, machinery is of high importance to ensure that produce is produced to a consistently high standard at efficient rates. As well as this, temperature ranges, robustness and reliability are of the upmost importance. Ultimately, making sensors by POSITAL a great use for machine manufacturers within the food and beverage industry.
High Precision
IXARC rotary encoders are designed to provide up to 16 Bit resolution in both magnetic and optical sensing technologies; up to 16384 PPR for incremental encoders; and over a wide temperature range as well. With accuracy specifications of up to 0.02° IXARC, rotary encoders are a performance match for the precision measurement and control required of today’s food, beverage, and packaging machinery. Therefore, the high levels of precision ensures encoders by POSITAL deliver the best quality for food and beverage machine manufacturers.
Programmability
The UBIFAST configuration tool enables the user to easily and quickly program these functions in all IXARC magnetic-based incremental encoders: HTL or TTL output driver, counting direction, Index pulse, pulses per revolution. Any Wi-Fi enabled can access the configuration interface via internet browser; no special software is required. In addition to incremental, IXARC single- and multiturn SSI absolute plus analog output types can also be programmed with the UBIFAST configuration tool.
Robust Design
IXARC magnetic technology based rotary encoders are proven to be considerably less susceptible to dust, oil, and moisture related failure. Heightened shock and vibration applications also benefit from the magnetic based sensing technology. Also, enclosure ratings of IP67/68/69k, bundled together with a stainless-steel housing and magnetic sensing technology make for a highly reliable rotary encoder solution. Elongated service life can be expected even in the harshest washdown environments as are commonly found in food & beverage and mobile equipment cleaning applications.
