TWK CRF65-4096G4096E01 Programmable Absolute Encoder – Precision in Motion

Product Overview

The TWK CRF65-4096G4096E01 is a multi-turn absolute encoder designed for applications that demand ultra-precise position feedback, exceptional durability, and flexible configurability. With its 24-bit resolution, rugged housing, and programmable output settings, this encoder is ideal for advanced automation systems, CNC machinery, and industrial robotics.


High-Resolution Multi-Turn Sensing
This model features:

  • 12-bit single-turn resolution (4096 steps per revolution)

  • 12-bit multi-turn resolution (4096 revolutions tracked)

These combined provide a full 24-bit absolute positioning capability, ensuring high-accuracy tracking even in complex rotary systems.

How encoder resolution is determined
Fully Programmable Functionality

The encoder supports user-defined configuration via PC software, enabling customization of:

  • Output code formats (Binary, Gray, BCD, etc.)

  • Signal direction (CW/CCW)

  • Output logic and polarity

  • Resolution per turn and total turns

  • Baud rate and communication protocols

  • Preset values, reference points, and more

Settings are saved in non-volatile EEPROM memory, allowing flexible deployment across different systems.


Multiple Interface Options
Depending on application needs, the CRF65 encoder can be ordered with:

  • Serial Interfaces: SSI (synchronous), ASA (asynchronous RS-485)

  • Parallel Interface: Configurable logic outputs (open collector, push-pull, etc.)

  • Optional Outputs: Analog (0–10 V or 0–20 mA), discrete status signals (e.g., limit switch feedback)

The CRF65 is easy to integrate:

  • Mounted via clamping or synchro flange

  • Supplied with 300 mm cable and DB37 connector

  • Programmable using TWK’s PROCOD software with RS-485/RS-232 adapter


Application Areas
This encoder is ideal for:

  • Industrial automation

  • Robotics and mechatronics

  • CNC and motion control

  • Rotary indexing systems

  • Heavy-duty machine tools

  • OEM applications replacing older CM65 encoders


Summary
The TWK CRF65-4096G4096E01 offers a powerful combination of:

  • High-resolution multi-turn absolute feedback

  • Programmable versatility

  • Industrial-grade mechanical and environmental resilience

  • Flexible communication interfaces

This makes it a trusted choice for OEMs, system integrators, and engineers seeking precise motion control in dynamic environments.
