Replace feedback transducers on CNC
machines
Feedback transducers are supplied as 'plug-and-play' replacements for obsolete units formerly manufactured by Baumer, Crouzet, Eucron and Micron, used on earlier CNC machine tools.
Micronor's MR200 series Feedback Transducers are based on the company's proprietary Modular Cam Switch System This proven technology provides an efficient and cost-effective way to engineer plug-and-play feedback transducers for new equipment designs as well as servicing machinery no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturers

High-res analogue encoder for harsh environments
The new Micronor hollow and solid shaft series high resolution encoders provide 12-bit resolution with choice of analogue output - ideal for high reliability and high precision industrial automation
Passive encoder uses no internal electronics
A totally passive encoder uses no electronics within the sensor and is therefore usable in stressful environments not suited for conventional electronic-based encoders.
Feedback units can incorporate any combination of encoders, resolvers, potentiometers, tachometers, rotary limit switches as well as specialized interface electronics (4-20mA or +/-10V analog outputs, serial interface, CAN, etc).
These feedback components are readily integrated with precision low or zero backlash gearing - in application-specific, compatible packaging.
Feedback transducers are mission critical components of precision CNC machinery - designed to provide highly accurate and reliable position, speed and overrun control of linear or rotary motion in high performance servo motor drive systems.
Machine applications exist across many industries; including CNC machine centers, industrial robotics, food processing, medical products, packaging, heavy manufacturing, paper converting and military/aerospace.
MR200 series Feedback Transducers can be designed as plug-and-play replacements for obsolete units formerly manufactured by Baumer, Crouzet, Eucron and Micron.
These transducers are can be found in machinery manufactured by a large number of OEM CNC equipment manufacturers; including Bridgeport, Cincinnati Lamb, Giddings and Lewis and Kingsbury - to name just a few.
Micronor offers a range of standard as well as custom engineered feedback solutions.
User quantities can range from one to thousands - there are no minimum quantity requirements.
