Precision and accuracy are crucial in motion control systems across industrial, robotics, aerospace and other applications. Even the slightest measurement error can lead to failures and inefficiencies. Two major technologies used for position measurement and feedback are Encoders and resolvers – but which one is better suited for different needs? Fundamentally, resolvers and encoders serve the […]
The Model A36R Absolute Encoder is designed for high performance in a compact mechanical package. The use of blue LED and reflective technology along with excellent shock and vibration ratings make it a highly versatile encoder. Available with bore sizes up to 10 mm and a wide selection of flexible mounting options, the Model A36R is easily designed […]
Whether you are working on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Automated Guided Carts (AGC), or Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), or any of the other designations being used, robots and robotics are becoming increasingly important to the industry, moving parts, and materials in every environment from manufacturing to warehouses, to customer-facing grocery stores. To ensure precision, it […]
Packaging equipment typically involves rotary motion along several axes. From spooling to indexing, sealing, cutting, conveying, and other automated machine functions, there is an axis of rotary motion. To accurately control all that motion, a rotary encoder provides motion feedback. Check out the infographic below for an overview of some other common packaging machinery encoder applications. Web […]
British Encoder Products Company’s LCX Series draw wire units work with BEPC encoders to accurately measure position and provide motion feedback in motion control applications. The LCX Series of Draw Wire solutions is manufactured for BEPC/EPC by our German technology partner and offers wire lengths from 1 to 42.5 metres in length. “The maintenance-free draw wires are […]
