Product Description

Okuma makes an array of power equipment with leading-edge technology which is reputed to be the best and used the world over. This consists of various types of motors that are used in a variety of applications. The tasks that these motors are needed to execute can be related to lateral, longitudinal or rotational movements. It goes without saying that for error-free operations these movements should be precise. This is even more important when there are other connected co-dependent processes involved and they have to rely heavily on the precision and exactness of the position of movements.  DC motors have a complex position and speed control, their behavior is not linear and relies heavily on the load borne; this is why they need an encoder (which may be embedded or not) to determine and ensure a correct shaft position. There are different types of encoders depending on their design and functionality.

This is where the Okuma D6 encoder comes into play. The D6 is apart of the Okuma D6-A or 1006-1211 VACII Drive unit. It helps in monitoring the status of the motor and the exact position of the apparatus which is being moved by the motor is regulated. Weighing a meager 5.00 Lbs the D6 are mounted unobtrusively and monitor all parameters in the real-time basis. The technical superiority of Okuma-built components generates the foundation of exactness that all the CNC (computer numerical control) machines require. The seamless communication between these systems facilitated by the D6 encoder allows Okuma machine tools to produce some of the most crucial outputs and provides positioning parameters for the sequential control of processes.

These encoders work continuously and form an inseparable part of the drive system package that delivers perpetual consistency and accuracy.
