November 2023

Renishaw, the global engineering technologies company, will be exhibiting at SPS 2023 from 14 - 16 November in Nuremberg, Germany.

Attendees are invited to visit the Renishaw stand 231, Hall 4A, to discover the latest in encoder technologies, from miniature encoder stainless steel disc scales to a new handheld encoder diagnostic tool.

The ATOM™ and ATOM DX encoder families

The ATOM series is Renishaw's first miniature optical incremental encoder system. Its innovative, non-contact design combines miniaturisation with leading-edge signal stability, dirt immunity and reliability.

ATOM encoders represent a significant advance in the performance and reliability of miniature encoders and are ideal for space-critical applications with system heights under 10 mm. The ATOM readhead is also available as a flexible printed circuit (FPC) variant which helps to minimise overall package size, with a reduced Z-height of just 7.3 mm.

The ATOM DX encoder is Renishaw's smallest incremental optical encoder with digital output direct from the readhead, built on the market proven optical system of the ATOM encoder platform. It integrates Renishaw's latest high-performance interpolation technology, which reduces system size and removes the need for additional adaptors and interfaces.

ATOM DX readheads can also be used with a wide range of linear, partial arc and rotary (angle) scales to meet most application requirements. The readheads are available in two different formats, cabled and top exit variants, with either 20 µm or 40 µm scale options.

The encoder is ready to install straight from the box and features Renishaw's integrated set-up LED, for an intuitive and simple installation process.
