FDC2212: CNC Height Adjuster

Part Number: FDC2212
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1612,

Customer is looking for a cap sensor solution that can adjust the CNC drill with 0-20mm accroding to the sensor feedback signal. Is any FDC series able to support this application? Could you advice if any!! thanks.

Customer: WW

Application: CNC 

   

  • The FDC2212 or the LDC1612 are the most likely devices able to address this need. There are a few things to be aware of though:

    1.) There will be drift over temperature and from device to device. This makes it difficult for precision measurements.
    2.) A reference channel will be required to help compensate for the drift.
    3.) The noise floor will depend on the sampling speed. A slower sampling speed will be better.

    There are some great LDC app notes available here:
