FANUC serial communications logoRESOLUTE with FANUC serial interface is currently available for rotary applications only.

RESOLUTE brings many advantages to high-performance machine tools that use FANUC controllers. Higher speed, rugged and reliable pure serial communications, superior contouring performance and greater servo stiffness. Furthermore, the non-contact format eliminates backlash, shaft wind-up (torsion) and other hysteresis errors that plague traditional enclosed encoders.

RESOLUTE with FANUC serial interface is suitable for use on gear-driven and direct-drive rotary axes. Unlike incremental systems, it has no limitation on which ring sizes can be used with direct-drive rotary axes.

Open protocol options for RESOLUTE absolute encoders also available

RESOLUTE is available with 13 RESA ring sizes between 52 mm and 550 mm (custom-size and larger rings are available on request), with two resolution options:

23 bit resolution (8,388,608 counts per revolution, 0.15 arc second resolution)

This is available for use with all FANUC controllers and servo drives that support FANUC serial interface.

27 bit resolution (134,217,728 counts per revolution, 0.0097 arc second resolution)

This is available only for use with more recent FANUC controllers or recent editions of FANUC CNC / servo software. For compatibility information, please contact your local FANUC representative.
