Featuring absolute angle detection, a robust structure and easy connection to a personal computer, the MIT series consists of a new magnetic induction angle detector, which is of the same type as the resolver, and of a signal conversion circuit that processes the angle signals of the detector and connects a PCI or ISA bus.
The MIT series comes with many features that cannot be found on conventional optical encoders and magnetic resolvers.

Detection of absolute angles
This angle sensor system's "MIT Series" can detect absolute angles of a single rotation.

PC-integrated high-function signal conversion circuitry
Two different types of signal conversion circuitry are available: PCI (peripheral component interconnect) bus-compatible and ISA (industry standard architecture) bus-compatible. The ISA bus conversion circuit can also deal with parallel signal output (data updating cycle: 800ns) in real time.

High reliability, long service life
No optical elements, electronic parts, etc. are used for the detector. No disposable parts (such as rectifiers/brushes) are used, either. Furthermore, adoption of large-size bearings helps to increase vibration-, impact- and load-resistance, substantially enhancing mechanical reliability and service life.

The CE marking certified.

High resolution absolute angle detection
The "MIT Series" can detect absolute angles with a high 19-bit (524,288 division) resolution. Operations such as "return-to-original point," "original point adjustment in start-up," etc. are not required. Finely tuned position control is possible.

Pre-set angle signal output
Pre-set angles can be arranged within the signal conversion circuit up to a maximum of 32 points. Position-alignment signals are output when the sensor reaches a pre-set angle. Equipped with very convenient functions that allow for angle-indexing, pre-set angle/position detection and other operations.

Accumulation of angle data (data logging)
The signal conversion circuit, which can accumulate angle data up to a maximum of 131,072 pieces, functions as a data logger. Since data acquisition is carried out by the signal conversion circuit itself, no load is borne by PCs and other higher-end systems.

Used for:
• Measuring instruments, experimentation equipment
• Production equipment, automated machines
• Industrial machines which demand reliability and durability
