Touchless Rotary Sensors with CANopen Interface
The sensors are touchless magnetic angle sensors with a permanent magnet that can be secured to a rotating shaft, so that there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system, and therefore no wear.
Southborough, MA - Novotechnik U.S. introduces the Vert-X 32E Series of programmable rotary angle sensors. The sensors are touchless magnetic angle sensors with a permanent magnet that can be secured to a rotating shaft, so that there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system, and therefore no wear. Output provided is CANopen Interface. Vert-X 32E Series is CiA certified serial communications output and supports real-time control.
The Vert-X 32E Series can be programmed through a programming device connected between the sensor and a computers USB port and software called EasyAdapt which runs on Windows PCs. Users can select from six default set-ups or use one as a starting point and customize it. Output characteristics including custom characteristic curve, angle range, zero point, and curve- as well as gradient-direction versus direction of rotation can be programmed.
Single and redundant Vert-X 32E versions are available and key specifications include 38 mm width centered on mounting holes, 0 to 360° measurement range, resolution to 16-bit, repeatability of 0.1° or better, and maximum hysteresis of 0.1°.
The Series also features a wide 8 to 35 V supply range. Vert-X 32E Series sensors have a MTBF of 135 years. All models feature an ingress protection rating of IP 68 and operating range of -40 to +85°C.
Programmability of Vert-X 32E Series makes it possible for some applications to reduce hardware design complexity, lower costs through stocking one part for multiple products and eliminating the need for certain other parts in some applications. These could include a microprocessor, A/D converter, memory and related decoupling capacitors.
Vert-X 32E can be ordered with custom factory programmed characteristics defined by users as well. For more information contact Novotechnik U.S., Phone: 508-485-2244 •

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
