Flyer Secondary Encoder

FANUC secondary encoders can enhance robot accuracy for precision processes. They measure deviations caused by torque and pressure to compensate for vibration and overshoot. This reduces deflection and bending to maximize precision. Secondary encoders use optical detection for reliable, high-speed position monitoring.

FANUC Secondary
Encoders

Benefits of using extra encoders:


• ultra-high levels of accuracy and repeatability
• controls vibration and overshoot
• reduces robot deflection
• compensates for bending due to torque
• features reliable optical detection

Maximum precision and stiffness
To further enhance the accuracy of a robot on critical processes demanding ultimate precision it is feasible to use a
FANUC Secondary Encoder. FANUC robots equipped with optional secondary encoders are specifically designed for
processes, such as flow screw drilling, roller hemming or aerospace applications, that require robots to exhibit a
high degree of mechanical rigidity and accuracy.

Deviation compensation
Motor Axis output Next to the primary encoder, which measures the input side of the
pulse coder position detection robot’s drive train, the secondary encoder measures deviations
caused by torque and pressure on the tool and compensates for
these by controlling the robot’s position at slow speeds or in the
end position. Secondary encoders identify vibration and amplitude
Sensor quicker than primary encoders, enabling them to provide fast,
head
accurate control of vibration and overshoot.

Scale
Motor Accuracy enhancement
Base In addition to the motor position detection by pulse coder,
the Accuracy and Stiffness Enhancement Function uses a
Reducer Arm position detection device located on each robot axis to execute
positional control. This device ensures maximum accuracy
Eliminates error caused by reducer/gear and stiffness by eliminating the effects of the backlash and
backlash and distortion by detecting the distortion caused by the gears and reducers.
position of the axis output

Reduced deflection
Skate compensation corrects for bending caused by torque on
the robot’s mechanical components. It also reduces robot
deflection caused by external forces applied during the process.

has become dirty and needs cleaning.

Reliable position detection


Using Renishaw Optical Detection, pictures of a coded scale
located on the robot’s axes are analysed via high-speed DSP to
determine the absolute position of the tool. A built-in position
check algorithm constantly monitors calculations for ultimate
safety and reliability. The absolute position is determined
immediately upon switch-on.
