Product Description

The ATM60-AAA12X12 (Part No: 1030014) is a heavy-duty, multi-turn absolute encoder from SICK’s ATM60 series. Unlike incremental encoders, this absolute encoder retains its exact position even after a power loss, providing high reliability for complex industrial positioning tasks.

Product Parameters

Key Product Advantages

• High Durability: Features a rugged magnetic scanning system that is highly resistant to dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

• No Re-homing Required: Because it is an absolute multi-turn encoder, it “remembers” its position even if the machine is powered down or the shaft is moved while off, eliminating the need for a homing cycle.

• SSI Interface: The Synchronous Serial Interface ensures high-speed, reliable data transmission with minimal electrical interference.

• Programmability: Users can program the resolution, set the zero point (nulling), and configure the counting direction (CW/CCW) via hardware or software.

• Electronic Adjustment: Allows for easy alignment of the machine’s mechanical zero point with the encoder’s electronic zero point.

Product Applications

The ATM60 is designed for applications where precise positioning over many revolutions is critical:

• Tower Cranes & Hoists: Monitoring the exact height and rotational position of heavy lifting equipment.

• Steel Mills: Measuring the position of rollers and slab movement in high-heat, high-vibration environments.

• Renewable Energy: Pitch and yaw control for wind turbines to optimize wind capture.

• Medical Equipment: Precise positioning for MRI tables or large-scale X-ray gantries.

• Port Logistics: Positioning of spreaders and trolleys on container cranes.

Important Usage Notes (Precautions)

• Initial Setup: Upon installation, the “Set” line or software command must be used to define the zero point relative to the machine’s physical home position.

• Mechanical Alignment: Ensure the shaft is perfectly aligned using a flexible coupling. High radial or axial forces (exceeding 300 N / 50 N) will significantly shorten the bearing life.

• Shielding: To prevent data errors on the SSI line, use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cables and ensure the shield is properly grounded.

• Magnetic Interference: Avoid mounting the encoder in close proximity to extremely strong external magnetic fields, as this can interfere with the internal magnetic scanning.
