The QUANTiC encoder system is highly immune to dirt and contamina- tion due to several advanced design features. QUANTiC readheads incor- porate Renishaw’s well-established filtering optics that averages the con- tributions from many scale periods and effectively filters out non-periodic features such as dirt. Measurement sig- nals are further enhanced by a range of electronic signal processing algorithms such as Auto Gain Control (AGC), Auto Offset Control (AOC) and Auto Balance Control (ABC). QUANTiC encoders also feature a third layer of signal filtering from a new detec- tor design which helps to eliminate non-harmonic signal frequencies that can occur due to contamination on the scale. These signal conditioning features combine to ensure low Sub- Divisional Error (SDE) and minimal signal variation over contamination. Features and benefits include: remote monitoring; visual and audio indication of signal size, limit switches and readhead pitch; DRO output, Lis- sajous output and the ability to save data in multiple common file formats. flexible automation enables the combination of multiple machines into a single production cell, utiliz- ing common transfer, turnaround and feeding units to serve the machines and provide an efficient production solution. New Easy to Install Incre- mental Encoder —Renishaw Renishaw has launched a new encoder family for linear axes, which offers exceptionally wide installation tolerances and axis speeds of up to 24 meters per second. The QUANTiC™ encoder series produces a digital sig- nal output directly from the readhead and eliminates the requirement for additional bulky external interfaces. This ground-breaking approach was first used for Renishaw’s advanced VIONiC™ encoders. In OEM applications, machine build speed is critical. Swift compo- nent installation reduces lead times and increases profitability. QUANTiC encoders have been designed with this in mind and feature Renishaw’s widest ever setup tolerances, exceptional dirt immunity and the optional Advanced Diagnostic Tool (ADT) for remote calibration and in-depth diagnostics. The QUANTiC encoder system uses a 40 µm-pitch scale, which translates to larger installation toler- ances and higher operating speeds due to the unique optical design of Renishaw encoders. For instance, readhead installation rideheight and yaw tolerances are now ±0.2 mm and ±0.9⁰ respectively. Available scale options include RTLC40 for carrier track (FASTRACK™) mounting and
