1. Introducing QUANTiC™ series encoders
Wider installation tolerances
No separate interface or PCBs required
Maximum linear speed of up to 24 m/s
Integrated set-up LED
Advanced Diagnostic Tool (ADTi-100)
Please read the notes below:
The QUANTiC series is a new all-in-one digital encoder family.
In OEM applications, machine build time is critical, as time saved in component installation reduces lead times and increases profitability. QUANTIC encoders have been designed with this in mind and feature Renishaw’s widest ever setup tolerances, exceptional dirt immunity and the optional Advanced Diagnostic Tool (ADT) for remote calibration and in-depth diagnostics.
QUANTiC, like VIONiC, combines all necessary interpolation and digital signal processing inside the readhead to eliminate the requirement for additional external interfaces.

Value to you
Wider installation tolerances
Improved dirt immunity
Easy setup
Value
Please read the notes below:
Wider installation tolerances: Renishaw’s easiest encoder to install with +/- 200um rideheight tolerance during installation.
Easy setup: QUANTiC encoders are designed to minimise system setup and calibration times, which helps to speed up production line installation.
High speed: with a top speed of 24m/s. Faster processing and throughput for the customer.
Diagnostic capability: compatibility with the ADTi-100 for installation and field diagnostics.
Improved dirt immunity: new electro-grating design reduces non-harmonic signal frequencies that can occur due to contamination. This helps to maintain SDE over dirt and improve metrology.

4. QUANTiC basic principles
Readhead sensor uses patented filtering optics
Addition of Versatile Interpolation ASIC (VIA) chip allows direct digital output to customer’s controller
Advanced algorithms allow easy calibration and reference mark phasing
For challenging installations, QUANTiC’s ADTi­­–100 provides comprehensive monitoring and diagnostic feedback
Please read the notes below:
Designed for manufacturing:
The QUANTIC encoder system uses a 40 µm-pitch scale which translates to larger installation tolerances and higher operating speeds due to the unique optical design of Renishaw encoders.
The QUANTiC encoder system is highly immune to dirt and contamination due to several advanced design features. QUANTiC readheads incorporate Renishaw’s well-established filtering optics that averages the contributions from many scale periods and effectively filters out non-periodic features such as dirt. Measurement signals are further enhanced by a range of electronic signal processing algorithms such as Auto Gain Control (AGC), Auto Offset Control (AOC) and Auto Balance Control (ABC). QUANTiC encoders also feature a third layer of signal filtering from a new detector design which helps to eliminate non-harmonic signal frequencies that can occur due to contamination on the scale. These signal conditioning features combine to ensure low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE) and minimal signal variation over contamination.

7. Linear scales for QUANTiC
RTLC40
Lengths to 10 m
±15 µm/m accuracy (slope + linearity) at 20 °C
FASTRACK™ carrier mounting
Self-adhesive backing tape for easy installation
RTLC40-S
Please read below:
CTE = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (PPM/K) – make this clear to your audience if mentioned.
Slope and linearity: slope is defined as the average error per increment of scale whereas linearity is a measure of the deviation from this. Scales with good linearity are obviously desirable.
For RTLC40 and RTLC40-S, a scale linearity of ±5 μm/m can be achieved with two point error correction.
QUANTiC scales come with customer selectable IN-TRAC™ reference marks embedded in the incremental channel and dual-limit switches.
Please consult online data sheets for further information.
