August, 2015 MRI-Safe Linear Encoder from Micronor
Newbury Park, CA — New from Micronor is the world’s first commer- cially-available MRI Safe linear posi- tion sensor system for OEM motion control applications. With 100µm reso- lution and 50µm accuracy, MR303 Linear Sensor is the solution for med- ical, MRI, robotic and industrial appli- cations where position and speed must be precisely monitored, and electro- magnetic immunity and invisibility are required. The sensor works in con- junction with the MR302-2 OEM Controller which enables the sensor to integrate with conventional PLC con- trollers and servo drives. The position sensor is immune to any electromagnetic interference, such
as magnetic fields, lightning, high voltage and radiation. Since it is fabri- cated from non-ferrous and non-metal-
lic materials, the sensor is also com- pletely transparent to electromagnetic fields. This magnetic invisibility also makes it an excellent position sensor for use in super paramagnetic relax- ation measurements in which ex - tremely small magnetic fields are measured. These attributes allow the MR303 sensor to be safely used in and around the MRI bore and does not pro- duce any imaging artifacts. This high precision linear

encoder provides the means for per- formance enhancements of existing MRI systems as well as enabling new MRI applications and medical devices. Applications include MRI cradle posi- tion monitoring, MRI robots and MRI
phantom training organs. The fiber optic linear incremen-
tal encoder system is based on an innovative optical technique embod- ied in Micronor’s U.S. Patent 7,196,720 in which an electrically passive, all-optical sensor and remote controller are interconnected via a duplex fiber optic link. The sys- tem uses a coarse wavelength divi- sion multiplexing technique incorpo- rating two lasers representing the A and B quadrature signals. An encoder film strip passes through the MR303 optical read head, modulat- ing the A and B optical signals. The remote MR302-2 Controller provides both the optical input to the MR303 Sensor and processes the modulated optical return signal. The controller has both A/B quadrature outputs and Modbus RTU serial interface for transparent integration into the

grated and available with a fast, reli- able Gigabit Ethernet or Camera Link interface. This combination of high reso-
lution and fast imaging make Rad- icon detectors suitable for industrial x-ray inspection, scientific imaging, and non-destructive testing, includ- ing weld inspection, wire bond and printed circuit board (PCB) inspec- tion, microfocus systems, computed tomography (CT) and other demand- ing industrial imaging applications. According to the company, the
Rad-icon 2022 detector’s special 8 x 9-in. (203 x 228mm) format is suit- able for replacing 9-in. (228mm) image intensifiers, and more cost- effective than larger a-Si panels. The 99µ pixel size reportedly delivers excellent resolution and sensitivity, while the real-time 30fps frame rate allows for fast CT scans and live
averaging of NDT images. Contact: Teledyne Dalsa, 700
