Mahims systems offers a new series to its existing range of optical encoders. Ah series stands for alternate high output--in clockwise rotation one channel
[a] is going to give train of pulses and other channel
[b] will be at low, and in counter clockwise rotation it is other way.
The first active channel [a] will be held at low and other channel [b] will be active to generate output pulses. The encoders are in the range of 1 to 1,000 ppr.
The main feature of optical encoder is one can have interlocking as well as indication of rotation. All other standard specifications like marker pulse, ip65 protection, 5 to 24 v supply, output with open collector, push-pull line driver rs-422, mounting flange/servo, etc, remain unchanged. The areas of application are x-y recorder and tables, conveyors, elevators, special purpose machines, robots, measure length-n-cut, etc.
