Absolute rotary encoders with Ethernet & Fieldbus interfaces
Lika Electronic offers a comprehensive range of absolute rotary encoders with Ethernet interfaces (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, Modbus TCP) as well as with fieldbus serial interfaces (Profibus, CANopen, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet). Lika's portfolio will be enriched also by new models equipped with Ethernet technology based CC-Link IE interface soon.
All Ethernet and fieldbus encoders fully comply with the specifications of each protocol and profile both in the hardware and in the software. They integrate the complete set of configuration parameters (position and velocity readout, scaling, preset, code sequence, …) and provide advanced diagnostic functions, even via integrated web server.
M12 connectors can be available in both radial and axial configurations to meet various installation requirements.

Explore our Range of Rotary Optical Kit Encoders!
Lika Electronic designs and manufactures a full line-up of rotary optical kit encoders for direct integration into robotic systems (for instance, surgical and diagnostic robots), cobots, robotic joints, servomotors, direct drive torque motors as well as into UAVs/drones, electromedical devices, and a variety of motion control systems.
They are designed in several sizes and shapes and offer a wide Xion of customizable specifications and technologies to fit special requirements. Kit encoders are frameless and bearingless and excel in compact size, low profile, minimum weight.
The optical technology allows them to achieve high resolution and fine accuracy for a very precise and safe control over movement, rotation, and positioning.
Contactless operation reduces machine downtimes and maintenance.
Converters and solutions for industrial integration and communication
Converters are often useful for adjusting the features of the encoder to the ones of the plant it must be installed on. Sometimes they are needful for retrofitting operations.
In many cases they allow also to upgrade and even add new functions to the encoder.
• Varied range of converters, interpolators, amplifiers, splitters, gateways, ...
• Designed for incremental and absolute encoders
• Designed for rotary and linear encoders
• Simple devices with basic functions
• Advanced devices with complete programmability and additional functions
