ATOM™ optical incremental encoder series
Miniaturisation without compromise
The ATOM series is Renishaw's miniature non-contact optical incremental encoder system suitable for linear and rotary applications. Its innovative design combines miniaturisation with leading-edge signal stability, dirt immunity and reliability. This represents a significant advance in the performance and reliability of miniature encoders. ATOM is also the fastest encoder in its class, with maximum speeds up to 20 m/s.
ATOM systems are simple to install with integrated LED for signal integrity indication. They are compatible with Renishaw's ADTpro-100 diagnostic tool.
A range of high-speed interpolator interfaces is available including high-performance Ti, Ri and the compact PCB ACi interface, offering digital output with resolutions down to 1 nm.
The ATOM readhead is also available as a flexible printed circuit (FPC) variant which helps reduce overall package size, with a reduced Z-height.

Ključne prednosti
Miniature analogue
Miniature fully featured analogue encoder for space constrained applications, with external interpolator interfaces.
FPC readhead variant
Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) with reduced Z-height to give customers the freedom to design custom cabling for easy routing.
Reliable position measurement
Unique filtering optics design with excellent signal stability and dirt immunity.
The ATOM series meets all of our main requirements for a high-performance, low-noise and light-weight miniature encoder system. Direct comparison with competing brands has demonstrated beyond doubt that ATOM is indeed best-in-class. Renishaw's delivery lead-times and after-sales support have also proven to be excellent.
