In the last few days we have come across another inquiry for the FG4 series encoder, model number: FG4K-4096G-90G-NG. this is the previous generation of incremental Höbner encoders. We have explained this series of encoder products in our previous notes, the difference is that the pulse of today's model is 4096ppr.
These older vintage modelsEncoders for steel mills, we can only give alternatives to solve the application problems. Fortunately, this is a series that has been developed before, and only the electrical design needs to be based on it. In comparison, this customized replacement is a bit easier.
Description of Alternatives
We first take out the previously developed program to show you, old friends know that this is the previous acceptance of a steel mill commissioned to do the development of alternative. It is the replacement of this product, the original program can be used directly.
Let's do a physical picture comparison:



The left side is the picture of the original series, the two pictures on the right side are the replacements we have developed. Installation size 1:1.
As it is a customized product, we make it in a non-standard form. Therefore, it is more solid in terms of materials used. Our housing is milled through the entire aluminum ingot, the original is die-cast. That's all the differences.
In view of the product FG4K-4096G-90G-NG, we set the number of pulses to 4096 through electrical development by our technicians, so that for once our replacement product was perfectly realized.
Hobner's series ofHeavy Duty Encoders, are generally used more by the steel and metallurgy industry. So, basically in the past few years, steel mills have come over and commissioned customized replacements. Some of them are domestic steel mills, and some of them are steel mills from Russia. In comparison, foreign suchHeavy Duty EncodersNon-standard customized quantities are a bit more.
It is actually quite troublesome for people to carry out non-standard customization, although many of our friends think that we have a solution. In fact, every alternative program is only available after the first customer commissioned the development. No, we have prepared it in advance. Therefore, we would like to thank the "first" commissioned friend.
Anyway, whenever there is a special need for an encoder, we do our best to help make it happen.
If you need it, get in touch. My number is at the end of the article.
