ATOM is Renishaw’s first miniature encoder with filtering optics, providing improvements in dirt immunity, signal stability and reliability.

ATOM4D0-100 is a miniature incremental encoder readhead with a 1 m cable length. Compatible with RTLF40-S, RTLF40H-S, RKLF40-S and RKLF40H-S encoder tape scales. RKLF40-S scale is suitable for both partial arc and linear applications.

In linear applications, RKLF40 scale is designed to master to its mounting substrate, which means that the scale adopts the same thermal expansion behaviour as the substrate for enhanced stability.

RTLF40 is a floating scale that expands and contracts independently of the mounting substrate.

Technical documentation

ATOM4D0-100 Key Features / Benefits:

  • ATOM4D0-100 has a 1 m hi-flex cable terminated with a 15-way D-type connector

  • ATOM4D0-100 is compatible with RTLF40 and RKLF40 linear tape scales

  • ATOM4D0-100 features integral set-up LED and auto-phase optical reference mark giving bi-directional repeatability over the full speed operating range (after calibration)

 

About the ATOM series of miniature incremental encoders:

  • Miniature package; analogue output from the readhead
  • Multiple interpolation options, with resolutions to 1 nm (additional separate interface required)
  • Long-term stability provided by Renishaw's market proven filtering optics and dynamic signal control, ensuring low SDE and excellent dirt immunity
  • Fast and simple calibration at the push of a button (on the interface)
  • An optional ATOM diagnostic kit is available for real‑time encoder data feedback during installation or for in-field diagnostics (contact your local Renishaw representative) 
  • A CAD model of the ATOM readhead is available from the Renishaw website

 

Compatible scales:

RTLF40-S, RTLF40H-S, RKLF40-S or RKLF40H-S (all self-adhesive mounting)
