Optical Encoders
CE300 ChipEncoder™ Series IC Encoders
Superior resolution, seamless integration.
Compact Integration
Designed to break the price-performance barrier, the ChipEncoder integrates directly into your system to minimize both system size and total cost. This modular SMT kit is engineered for high-volume OEM applications, supporting automated pick-and-place and solder reflow manufacturing. Its ultra-miniature footprint (7mm x 11mm) enables high-accuracy motion feedback in space-constrained designs where traditional encoders simply cannot fit.
High-Resolution Performance
The ChipEncoder series breaks the price-performance barrier, offering up to 327,000 counts per revolution for rotary applications and 1 μm resolution for linear designs. With on-board interpolation and digital output, it delivers the precision and stability required for high-speed motion control without the overhead of external electronics. Its non-contact, reflective optical design ensures long-term reliability and high-speed capability across both linear and rotary platforms.
