The Micronor MR330 series Fiber Optic Absolute Position Sensor System now features 14-bit single-turn resolution. The enhanced performance is accomplished via improved electronics and new firmware-based algorithm update to the MR330-1 SSI Controller Module which is backwards compatible with earlier units. Rotary sensors are offered in two models – Standard MR332 and MRI Safe MR338.…
MRI-compatible absolute rotary encoder with 13-bit resolution
Micronor introduces the world’s first commercially available, MRI-compatible fiber optic absolute rotary encoder system. The all-optical, non-metallic MR338 passive sensor provides precision absolute angular measurement from 0° to 360° with 13-bit (8,192 count) resolution and 12-bit multi-turn tracking. A duplex multimode fiber optic link connects the passive MR338 Sensor to the active MR330 Controller Module…
Fiber optic sensor with immunity and 13-bit res
A supplier of automation and motion control products has developed what it says is the world’s first commercially-available absolute Fiber Optic Position Sensor (FOPS). Micronor’s says its Model MR330 series position sensor is an all-optical design immune to any electro-magnetic interference such as lightening, radiation, magnetic fields, and other harsh environmental conditions. The fiber optic aspect of the sensor also makes it perfectly suited for long distance position sensing over hundreds of meters without being affected by ground loop problems. The FOPS system is based on years of research, innovation and patents in fiber optic sensing technology.
Position transducer tracks yaw and more
MR200W series Yaw Position Transducers monitor yaw, direction, speed, and cable twist while providing feedback to the wind turbine’s yaw directional motor drive and brakes. The units, from Micronor Inc, Newbury Park, Calif , can be multifunctional and work with any combination of electromechanical limit switches, rotary encoders, resolvers, or potentiometers.
