Incumbent rotary position sensors and encoders available on the market today provide an absolute measurement range of one single turn or 360°. Systems that require multiple rotations of measurement range typically incorporate bulky mechanical solutions or a backup power supply to track the motion during power off. The innovative new ADMT4000 from ADI is the market’s first single chip Multiturn position sensor with an absolute measurement range of 46 turns (16560 Deg) and accurate to 0.25 Deg.
This new sensor is set to revolutionize actuator design, eliminating the need for linear transducers, bulky reduction gearing mechanisms, or the need to continuously power the system. The ADMT4000 significantly streamlines the actuator and drive design process, enabling a reduction in the size, weight, and cost of the final equipment.
This new product has broad market appeal and the target audience within the industrial sector includes manufacturers of industrial actuators and drives, industrial encoders, and manufacturers of industrial automation equipment including Robot, Cobot and humanoids. Other markets of interest include manufacturers of automotive sensors and actuators, Aerospace and Defence end equipment manufacturers, and manufacturers of medical equipment such as surgical robots, scanners, and dentist chairs.
The ADMT4000 was showed in the demo titled “Agile Manufacturing with Industrial Robotics” at electronica 2024 (Hall C4, Stand 121), and SPS 2024 (Hall 5, Stand 110).
