new2023

All you have definitely noticed the changes happened in the order codes of Lika Electronic's products following the installation of the new ERP software at the beginning of January 2023.
In particular most draw-wire encoders have changed their name as well.
In our October newsletter we provide some information to better understand the new code structure and avoid errors when ordering a cable-pulling encoder.

• Measuring lengths from 300 mm (0.984 ft), 1 m (3.28 ft), 2 m (6.56 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft), 10 m
  (32.8 ft), and longer, up to 50 m (164 ft)
• Any type of encoder can be integrated: incremental, absolute, fieldbus, Ethernet, analogue 
  (including potentiometer), ATEX, special models for individual applications 
• Resolution down to 0.01 mm / 10 µm
• Speed up to 10 m per second / 32.8 ft per second

Lika Electronic has unveiled the new EXO58 and EXM58 series of absolute rotary encoders with Ethernet interfaces. They integrate the Energy Harvesting Technology and offer the most popular Ethernet interfaces available on the industrial market: Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, Modbus TCP, and also CC-Link.

• Standard Ø 58 mm industrial flange
• Solid and hollow shaft versions
• Wide variety of Ethernet interfaces available
• Integrated Energy Harvesting Technology
• Precise optical and robust magnetic sensing

Lika Electronic has launched the new EH058 series of absolute encoders equipped with optical scanning and Energy Harvesting Technology. It offers very high resolutions, a variety of mechanical and electrical options, and the SSI and BiSS serial interfaces.

    • Singleturn and multiturn optical encoder with SSI and BiSS interfaces
    • Integrates the Energy Harversting Technology
    • 58 mm standard industrial flanges with several mounting options
    • Wide choice of solid and blind hollow shafts
    • Up to 25 bit singleturn and up to 16 bit multiturn resolution

The EHO58 encoder is highly flexible and multi-purpose and strikes a careful balance between providing adequate protection in industrial environments and ensuring accuracy and safe signal transmission. It is ideally suited for installation in advanced industrial automation applications, such as in packaging machinery, food and beverage industry, metal and plastic working machinery, woodworking machinery, stone and marble working machinery, lines for production and processing of paper and board, textile machinery, conveyor and handling systems, etc.

The SMAB off-axis modular encoder now offers higher resolution up to 24 bits and adds the BiSS interface. The mechanical characteristics remain unchanged, therefore it is perfectly compatible with the previous version.

    • Flat ring with large through bore (Ø 80 mm / 3.149”)
    • Off-axis installation
    • Resolution up to 24 bits and SSI or BiSS interfaces
    • Protection rate up to IP69K
    • Perfect for integration into motors, robots, radars, and antennas

The compact slim design and the high rotational speed that can be achieved enable the SMAB to be well suited for installation in large diameter shafts and even critical industrial environments and confined spaces, in particular in motors, robots, radars, and antennas.

The SMAR4 is the new off-axis absolute modular encoder from Lika Electronic.
It combines an open PCB readhead with an MRA magnetic ring in a very compact assembly.
It is engineered and shrunk down in size and weight to be directly integrated into high performance space and weight critical applications according to the latest design trends such as in robotics, robotic joints, hollow shaft motors (direct drive torque motors, …), brushless and servo motors, video surveillance systems, drones/UAVs, gimbals, 3D printers, electro-medical and laboratory devices, OEM equipment.
