Description:

The EPR-WG is a robust single-turn absolute encoder designed for seamless integration with the EPR and EPC programmable cam controllers. It provides precise position data using a contactless and wear-free optoelectronic scanning mechanism, making it ideal for industrial use.

Features:

• Resolution: 360 or 1000 steps per revolution
• Codes: Binary or Gray-Excess-76-Code
• Outputs: Short-circuit proof, reverse-polarity protected push-pull outputs
• Compatibility: Direct connection to EPR16, EPR48, EPC16, EPC48
• Rotation Direction: Reversible*
• Durability: Mechanically robust, suitable for high-speed operations

Functionality:

• Absolute position data is assigned to each angle using binary or Gray-Code.
• No reference point required as in incremental systems.
• Contactless and wear-free scanning of the code disk.

Installation:

• Front mounting with 3 M4 screws.
• Shaft connection via a suitable membrane coupling (see accessories).

Damage Prevention Tips:

• Avoid electrostatic discharge when handling electronics.
• Prevent excessive force on the shaft.
• Protect against impacts, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and strong vibrations.

Connection Options:

• Available with axial or radial connectors.
• Matching shielded cables are available in various lengths (refer to part numbers).

Rotation Direction:

• Models manufactured from 2020 onward do not support direct rotation direction change via jumper.
• Solution: Use the adapter cable (Part No. 585738) for reversing the rotation direction.

Applications:

• Packaging machines
• Machine tools
• Testing and production systems
• Labeling and textile machinery

Package Includes:

• Encoder EPR-WG
• Installation guide
• Optional accessories: cables and adapters
