Converting

In converting machinery, rotary encoders are employed to provide critical feedback for speed, direction, and distance. 

High-speed, precisely controlled operations such as spooling, laminating, folding, seaming, gluing, die-cutting, cut to length and others are typical applications for rotary encoders.

The Converting industry typically uses encoders for the following functions:

• Motor Feedback – Drive motors for converting machinery
• Conveying – Feeders for converting machinery, cut-to-length machinery
• Registration Mark Timing – Die cutters, stampers, auto-stacking equipment
• Web Tensioning – Laminate film converting,  coating, slitters, re-winders
