Description

Q4BCZ30D12E is a standard Renishaw QUANTiC readhead with a 3 m cable terminated with a 15-way D-type connector. This readhead is configured for linear encoder systems using RTLC40 or RKLC40 encoder tape scale.

The QUANTiC incremental encoder is easy to use with exceptionally wide installation and operational tolerances, high axis speeds and built in calibration functions.

Q4BCZ30D12E Key features/benefits:

  • Q4BCZ30D12E linear encoder is compatible with RKLC40 or RTLC40 scale
  • Q4BCZ30D12E features a customer selectable reference mark, dual limits and a tri-state alarm output
  • Q4BCZ30D12E features a highly dynamic 3 m cable with a 15-way D-type connector cable termination (standard pin out)
  • Q4BCZ30D12E requires a maximum controller input frequency of at least 12 MHz

About the QUANTiC series of super-compact encoders:

  • QUANTiC readheads ensure excellent motion control performance in a wide range of applications
  • A new detector design provides an additional layer of signal filtering which gives superior signal purity and contamination immunity, and ensures low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE)
  • QUANTiC digital encoders include Renishaw’s high-performance integrated interpolation technology, removing the need for additional adaptors or separate interfaces
  • Easy-to-use built-in installation and calibration functions can be enhanced with the optional ADTi-100 Advanced Diagnostic Tool (A-6195-0100), providing real time encoder data feedback during installation or for in-field diagnostics
  • A CAD model of the QUANTiC readhead is available from the Renishaw website
