The absolute rotary precision encoder is an ultra-thin hollow shaft absolute rotary encoder, which is very suitable for multi axis applications with limited space. This type of multi turn encoder is commonly used in industrial automation robots, production line multi axis machinery, manufacturing process machinery, and various servo motors that require accuracy and reliability. Through its 17 bit single turn and 15 bit multi turn resolutions, smooth and continuous production is ensured, and the host reads accurate multi turn positions from the encoder during startup and throughout the entire operation process. VLM-60 maintains multi turn absolute position in case of power failure or machine shutdown through built-in battery or connection to external power source
