Encoder Architecture for Demanding Industrial Motion Applications

Accurate motion feedback in heavy industrial environments has traditionally relied on a combination of encoders, limit switches and mechanical overspeed devices. While proven, this layered approach can introduce complexity, multiple failure points and susceptibility to electrical interference. Recent encoder architectures are addressing these challenges by consolidating multiple functions into a single, configurable system. One example […]

Benefits of the Unit One Encoder

Combining up to ten functions, within one unit, the universal encoder system U-ONE, offers speed, position and overspeed detection diagnostics, without the requirement for additional units, resulting in a simplified and highly efficient solution for crane operators. Current set-ups with separate sensing device units, all channelled through one gearbox, via separate cabling, raise issues with […]
