FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DURACODER COMPETES AS WORLD'S TOUGHEST ROTARY
SHAFT ENCODER IN A 2.5" SIZE PACKAGE
Advanced Micro Controls Inc has successfully engineered a
line of rotary shaft encoders possessing unmatched durability.
Under the DuraCoder nameplate, this family of rotary shaft
encoders incorporates resolver sensor technology and integrated
circuitry, enabling AMCI to claim DurCoder as the World's
Toughest Rotary Shaft Encoder in a 2.5" size package.
Terryville, CT September 29, 2004 – AMCI, a Connecticut
based industrial controls company, has described their DuraCoder
line as "The World's Toughest Rotary Shaft Encoders in
a size 2.5" package". AMCI's exclusive DuraCoder
design incorporates resolver sensor technology and integrated
circuitry, to deliver one of the most durable and cost effective
rotary shaft encoders on the market today.
AMCI DuraCoders are offered in four different types: incremental
digital, absolute digital, absolute analog, and DeviceNet
ready. Using integrated circuitry, each DuraCoder type is
capable of producing virtually every resolution output configuration
required in an automation environment. Designed around an
industry standard 2.5" size package, the DuraCoder is
manufactured using a cast aluminum housing, stainless steel
shafts, and either a sealed bearing (IP 64 rated) or sealed
shaft (IP 67 rated).
Featuring an integrated NEMA 4 housing, the AMCI DuraCoder
leverages a brushless resolver sensor. Absolute over a single
turn, the resolver was originally developed for military applications
and has benefited from more than 50 years of continuous use
and development.
AMCI recognized the benefits of the resolver, designed for
military applications, and incorporated this rotary position
sensing technology into the DuraCoder's design. "Through
superior engineering, AMCI has combined the time tested reliability
of a resolver with advanced electronics, enabling accurate
rotary position feedback in virtually any application. No
matter how hot, humid, dusty, oily, or mechanically demanding
the environment, DuraCoder is ready" stated Eugene Radoykov,
an AMCI engineer.
Machine builders and system integrators praise the DuraCoder
family for its field programmability, enabling customized
output resolution configurations tailored to the application
at hand. This groundbreaking flexibility is convenient and
cost effective since stocking inventory is reduced. One field
programmable DuraCoder eliminates the need for keeping several
different rotary shaft encoders on the shelf, historically
necessary to ensure an availability of different output resolutions.
DuraCoder is an industrial grade rotary shaft encoder, but
attractive pricing on these units have drawn interest from
customers beyond AMCI's target market. "Lots of people
look to DuraCoder when replacing their light-to-medium duty
rotary encoders. Although we specialize in heavy-duty applications,
we can offer them a competitively priced DuraCoder at about
the same cost as less reliable units, susceptible to breakage
or failure" explained Matt Tellier, AMCI Sales representative.
