Small and Robust Encoder Chips inside autonomous vehicles



Warehousing is a typical example where autonomous vehicles and robotics are combined for maximum flexibility and highest throughput. Weight, size and robustness are critical features for these applications. On above, the various motors generate strong magnetic fields, whereas the motor-controllers and cables may create strong electromagnetic interference. With its negligible weight, ultra-low profile-height and immunity against magnetic fields and electromagnetic interference, POSICoder's inductive encoder chips are ideally suited for this kind of challenging applications.

Which encoder chip is most suited for application in autonomous vehicles and robots?

The PO1020 inductive encoder chip with a wide temperature profile up to 125°C, because the ambient temperature in warehouses combined with the heat generation in continuously operated vehicles and robots may lead to very high temperatures in the encoder chips.
