Effective characterization of microencoders
The CMOS-MagView S is used for fast testing of the functional stray field of permanent magnetic materials and components. A magnetic field image is generated by digital camera technology and image acquisition software. This enables the geometric measurement of the functional field characteristics of magnetic microencoders. The following encoder properties, for example, can be determined from the image data:
- Pole widths (period length)
- Pole pitch error (zero crossings)
- Phase shifts
- Irregular functional pattern
- Magnetization errors
Time-consuming scanning of the encoder is not necessary. To create the field image, the test specimen is simply positioned on the magneto-optical sensor of the CMOS MagView. With one click the complete stray field is captured in one image. At this point, measurements can be made on the magnetic field image. All image data can be archived and conveniently further processed via CSV export.
