March 2022 - New Scales for ID-Encoders
POSIC introduces two new scales for its popular ID1102L and ID4501L linear encoders. The short-range scale TPLS04 has a length of 26 mm and the TPLS05 is 205 mm long. The scale’s width of 4.5 mm and thickness of 0.77 mm match nicely with the very small dimensions of the encoders, so they form a perfect solution for applications where space is limited.
The scale consists of an FR-4 substrate with high-precision copper patterns. It has an accuracy of +/- 10 um and allows a resolution down to 0.02 um. It does not attract ferromagnetic dust/particles, is insensitive to humidity, grease, oil, liquids, doesn’t need to be cleaned for correct operation and functions flawlessly inside magnetic fields. The scale has a backside adhesive for quick and easy assembly. The adhesive has a high bond-strength, a temperature range of -20 to 100°C and an excellent solvent-resistance.
Typical application areas are linear direct drives, z-movement in pick & place machines, robotics, life science equipment, microfluidics, microscope stages, piezo motors and voice coil actuators.
Technical drawings and 3D models can be downloaded from the product pages. The scales are available from stock and can be ordered online from POSIC’s webshop.

June 2018 - Linear encoder in SMD-format
POSIC launches the IT5602L linear encoder, which comes in a tiny SMD-format. Resolution and maximum speed are field-programmable and can be set down to 0.04 um and to 10 m/s respectively. The output signals are A and B in quadrature and an Index-pulse that is synchronized to the A and B signals. Thanks to the eddy-current sensing mechanism, the encoder is insensitive to magnetic fields and therefore particularly suited for integration in rotary and linear direct drives, voice coil actuators, solenoids and other magnetic actuators.
Target markets include industrial and laboratory automation with applications such as pick & place machines, inspection- and test-equipment, robotics and machine-tooling
The IT5602L encoder kit with scales of various lengths and an Evaluation and Programming Tool are available from POSIC’s webshop.

March 2016 - Encoder Kit with 20 nm Resolution
POSIC has raised the performance bar of their popular range of inductive encoder kits by releasing a next generation high resolution encoder module – the ID1102L – capable of resolutions down to 20 nm. A programming tool allows field-programming of the resolution as well as several other encoder parameters.
The encoder, which measures only 9 x 6.8 x 1.6 mm, employs an eddy-current sensing mechanism and is therefore robust against dust, particles, oil and liquids. The scale is a printed circuit board with high-precision copper patterns. It can easily be to cut to the desired length, does not attract ferromagnetic particles and doesn’t have to be cleaned for correct operation.

October 2015 - Encoder Kit with 0.6 μm Resolution at 2 m/s
POSIC launches the ID1102L linear encoder kit that operates up to 2 m/s with a resolution of 0.6 μm. Both resolution and maximum speed are user-programmable and can be set to different combinations of resolution (down to 0.02 μm) and maximum speed (up to 32 m/s).
The encoder employs an eddy-current sensing technology and is therefore not only robust against dust, oil and liquids, but is also insensitive to magnetic fields. The magnetic-field-insensitivity makes the encoder kit particularly suited for integration in linear direct drives.
Target markets include industrial and laboratory automation with applications such as pick & place machines, inspection- and test-equipment, robotics and machine-tooling

January 2015 - Ultra Low-Profile Rotary Encoder Kit
Need high-resolution position measurement in an extremely small space?
POSIC offers the perfect solution with its ultra low profile rotary encoder kit ID1101C !
The overall height, including the encoder’s cable-outlet and the codewheel, is only 2.5 mm. Standard codewheels are available with diameters from 28 up to 73 mm. The resolution ranges from 128 up to 65’536 CPR and can be factory-set or user-programmed.
The encoder-head and the codewheel are robust against dirt, liquids, oil and grease. They do not attract ferromagnetic particles and are insensitive to magnetic fields. The codewheel does not have to be cleaned for reliable operation. This encoder is ideal for integration in direct drives, instruments, machines, robots and other applications where space is limited.

November 2014 - New Programmable Encoder Kit in SMD-package
POSIC expands its portfolio of incremental encoder kits with the ID4501 programmable encoder that is housed in a tiny SMD package measuring only 5x6 mm. The linear scale is 3.7 mm wide and up to 550 mm long. The profile-height of encoder and scale together is below 2 mm.
The Evaluation and Programming Tool EPT allows you to program resolution (down to below 0.1 um) and maximum speed (up to 20 m/s) according to your application-requirements. For high-accuracy applications, it is possible to linearize the ID4501 against a reference-encoder and program the linearization data (LookUp Table) directly into the ID4501’s memory.
The ID4501 encoder, codewheels, linear scales and the Eval. & Prog. Tool are available from stock.

June 2014 - Programmable Rotary Encoder Kit
Simplify inventory management and speed up delivery time by using the programmable version of POSICs ID1101C encoder kit. The resolution can be programmed from 128 up to 4096 CPR prior to or even after assembly into your application.
The programming tool consists of a PC-based software and an interface board. The software is easy to use and can be downloaded free of charge. The interface board is connected to the PC via a USB-cable and to the encoder via the regular encoder-cable. The programming tool allows to select the resolution, program identification numbers and carry out diagnostic functions. It is ideally suited for evaluation purposes as well as for production-level programming.

April 2014 - Linear Encoder Kit with Extra Long Scale
POSIC extends the application range of its popular ID1101L linear encoder with an extra long scale. This long scale has a length up to 550 mm and can easily be cut to length. The scale’s width of 4.4 mm and thickness of 0.9 mm match nicely with the very small dimensions of the ID1101L encoder, so it remains a perfect solution for applications where space is limited.
The scale consists of an FR-4 substrate with high-precision copper patterns and allows a resolution down to 0.3 um. It does not attract ferromagnetic dust/particles, is insensitive to humidity, grease, liquids, doesn’t need to be cleaned for correct operation and operates flawlessly inside magnetic fields (e.g. inside an electric motor).
The scale is an integral part of the linear encoder kit ID1101L and is available from stock.
