CMIX3 programmable measuring system HIGH RESOLUTION & SUPER FAST & SMART

The CMIX3 series is a magnetic measuring system for linear and rotation applications with the highest resolution and a travel speed of up to 100 m/s.
The high resolution makes the sensor compatible for applications where previously only optical measuring systems could be used.

Both the required evaluation electronics and an interface for programming various software parameters are integrated in the sensor head. This means that the system can be flexibly adapted to the needs of the application, and this can be done conveniently via cable even when installed.
An error display via RGB LED as well as the integrated error memory accelerate problem finding and shorten downtimes.
Thanks to the non-contact magnetic measuring principle, the system operates Completely maintenance-free and wear-free.

  • High resolution - up to 16 nm (X4 encoding)
  • Super fast - high output frequency of 32 MHz (counts/s)
  • Smart - customer-specific functions can be retrofitted by software add-ons
  • Fexible - parameters such as resolution, index pulse width, hysteresis, etc. can be configured via cable even after installation
  • Convenient - firmware updates in-field via cable possible
  • Robust - robust zinc die-cast housing, optimal EMC protection, IP67
  • High availability - error display via LED as well as the integrated error memory accelerate problem finding and shorten downtimes
  • Linear & Rotary - for linear and rotary applications
