CAMCODE10®

Non contact encoder pulse

New generation of optical encoder for speed measurement

The CAMCODE10® utilizes direct optical signals from untouched surfaces to instantly analyze their structure and provide real-time movement data, converted into incremental encoder electrical signal pulses proportional of the displacement.

Benefits:

Eliminates kinematic chain errors
Enables ultra-precise stitching and alignment

Typical applications:

Speed encoder for industrial inkjet printhead:
X and Y direction standard A/B incremental outputs 
Trigger detect  output 
Analysis of the stability of the conveyor underneath the inkjet printhead. Real-time motion data is transmitted via Ethernet for additional user processing such as maintenance, absolute movement measurement, unwanted mechanical vibration, etc.

Unparalleled performance

Exceptional Accuracy & Resolution: Advanced signal processing and AI algorithms empower the CAMCODE®10 to deliver exceptional accuracy and high resolution, reaching 4800 dpi at speeds up to 6 m/s with minimal interpolation errors.

The absolute movement is tracked with an accuracy of better than one micrometer.

Note : samples printed at 1200 dpi, 200m/mn with dual in line print head.

Turnkey solution for seamless integration

Maintenance Software: this easy-to-use software communicates via Ethernet to provide:

  • Quick configuration and effortless alignment, minimizing setup times.
  • Visualization of the natural modes (eigenmodes) of the measured system, allowing for rapid diagnosis of, for example, the chassis, conveyor, or rollers of the printer on which the Camcode is installed.

The Ethernet connection also allows the client software to configure the Camcode and upload user profiles.

Simplified Installation: No glass scales or tracking wheels in contact with the moving media. Measurement is performed from a distance of a few centimeters without any additional devices, reducing integration time and system complexity.
