GE IP-QUADRATURE

High – Resolution Encoding

The GE IP – QUADRATURE offers an impressive encoder resolution ranging from 1024 to 4096 pulses per revolution. This high resolution allows for extremely accurate position sensing. In applications like semiconductor manufacturing, where precision down to the micron level is required for robotic arm movements, the IP – QUADRATURE ensures that the arm reaches the exact position, reducing the risk of errors in delicate processes such as chip placement.

Robust and Reliable Design

With an IP67 protection rating, the encoder is dust – tight and can withstand immersion in water up to a certain depth. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments, such as those in mining or food processing plants. The wide operating temperature range from – 40 °C to + 85 °C further enhances its reliability, as it can function optimally in extreme cold or hot conditions without performance degradation.

Versatile Connectivity Options

Featuring interfaces like M12 connector, RS485, and RS232, along with support for the Modbus RTU communication protocol, the GE IP – QUADRATURE can be easily integrated into existing industrial networks. It can communicate with different devices such as PLCs, HMIs, and other control systems, enabling seamless data transfer and control in complex industrial setups.
