POSITION TRANSDUCERS
A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Since its inception in 1975
Autotech Controls division of AVG automation has been in the
forefront of developing resolver based technology for the
industry. Through continuous innovation and by virtue of its
vertical integration AVG Automation is able to bring to you the
ruggedness and noise immunity of resolver based technology for the
cost of optical encoders. Over half a million AVG resolvers
are in use all over the world to provide position/motion feedback
to such controls as PLCs, CNCs, computer based controls and
definite purpose OEM controls.
Back in 1985, AVG Automation
revolutionized the encoder market by introducing the Digisolver;
industry's first resolver based digital encoder that combined the
ruggedness of a resolver with the reliability of solid-state
circuitry.
In the late 80's, Autotech
introduced the concept of resolver decoder module that plugs
directly into the PLCs eliminating the need of stand alone decoder
module. In the world of proprietary PLCs and racks, these
modules called BusModules provide the only "Universal"
solution. These modules are universal as the same module can
be used in any of the supported PLC racks offering a common user
interface (for a function) across different PLCs. |
