The alternative in motion control
All products achievable with the multi-function module
The 13/011 digital motorised potentiometer is the intelligent multifunction module designed by Alter Elettronica as an electronic evolution of the mechanical motorised potentiometer, offering superior performance for the generation of speed references or other electrical quantities. Its main function is to generate a clean and precise analogue reference signal (or a signal in "Frequency/Direction" mode,...Continue reading
The 13/010 angular positioner is a multifunctional module designed by Alter Elettronica to automate and simplify the precise movement of rotating industrial components such as machine tool spindles, rotary tables and tool magazines. In revamping and retrofit projects, programming fixed, repetitive positioning directly from an old CNC or PLC can be complex and time-consuming. The...Continue reading
Designed specifically for reading optical scales and direct position transducers, the 13/014 converter interfaces seamlessly with EnDat Linear transducers. In retrofits of large milling machines, lathes or boring machines, the linear optical scale is the heart of dimensional accuracy. This module allows any commercial Numerical Control (CNC) system or servo drive equipped with a TTL...Continue reading
In the world of industrial automation, closed proprietary protocols are the biggest obstacle to retrofitting. The 13/013 transducer converter solves a problem for which there are virtually no alternatives on the market: it reads the signal of proprietary Fanuc or Mitsubishi serial encoders — often built into high-performance motors that are difficult to replace without...
The 13/012 converter is Alter Elettronica’s technical solution for interfacing rotary absolute encoders operating with the EnDat 2.1 and 2.2 protocol (a standard typically found in Heidenhain systems) with standard commercial servo drives. On machine tools and in machining centres, EnDat is the benchmark standard for precision. However, it often restricts the choice of replacement...
The 13/009 converter module has been specifically developed for industrial applications in which brushless motors are fitted with a resolver. Known for its extreme robustness in harsh environments (high temperatures, vibrations), the resolver nevertheless generates an analogue signal (sine/cosine) that many new-generation drives do not natively support. This board processes the resolver’s analogue signal and...Continue reading
