Positioning the SCARA robot at the conveyor belt

The SCARA robot must move in sync with the conveyor speed so that it can remove the workpieces from the belt. The TTK70 linear encoder determines the absolute position of the SCARA robot. This encoder consists of a compact read head and a piece of magnetic tape that serves as a reference scale. The non-contact principle of operation means that the position is determined without causing any wear. Using a unique code pattern, the encoder gathers information about the absolute position along the reference scale and transmits this data directly to the evaluation electronics. Once it has been installed, the system is immediately available and completely maintenance-free, which saves time and reduces costs.
