Description

ATOM DX is Renishaw’s smallest incremental optical encoder with digital output direct from the readhead.

A4A0Y15A10F is a miniature incremental encoder readhead. RKLF40 scale is suitable for both partial arc and linear applications and is used in substrate mastered applications where the scale adopts the thermal expansion behaviour of the substrate for enhanced stability.

Cabled A4A0Y15A10F features an integral 1.5 m hi-flex cable with a D-type connector, providing positional feedback, onboard interpolation, and filtering optics all in a miniature package.

A4A0Y15A10F Key Features / Benefits:

A4A0Y15A10F has a resolution of 0.1 µm
A4A0Y15A10F is compatible with RTLF40 and RKLF40 linear tape scales
A4A0Y15A10F is supplied with a 1.5 m cable terminated by a 9-way D-type connector
A4A0Y15A10F features a bi-directionally repeatable, customer selectable reference mark and an integrated 3-state alarm for enhanced safety
A4A0Y15A10F requires a controller input frequency of at least 10 MHz

About the ATOM DX series of miniature digital encoders:

Miniature, all-in-one, digital output optical encoder with resolutions down to 2.5 nm
ATOM DX readheads combine Renishaw's market proven filtering optics, dynamic signal control and advanced interpolation technology. This provides low SDE, excellent dirt immunity, and eliminates the need for separate interfaces
Integral set-up LED for simple installation and calibration
An optional Advanced Diagnostic Tool ADTi-100 (A-6195-0100) is available for real‑time encoder data feedback during installation or for in-field diagnostics
Available in two variants; cabled and top exit, for the most demanding space constrained installations
A CAD model of the ATOM DX readhead is available from the Renishaw website
