Optical Encoder Linear Scale Digital Encoder

Principle of Linear Encoder

A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller.

Applications

Linear encoders are used in metrology instruments, motion systems and high precision machining tools ranging from digital calipers and coordinate measuring machines to stages, CNC Mills, manufacturing gantry tables and semiconductor steppers.

Linear Scale when used in conjunction with our counter is designed for manual machine tools or other equipment having linear movements, for example cut off saws. Alternatively the scale output can be used for automatic positioning control of machine tools or similar equipment via CNC or PLC units.The scales may also be fitted to co-ordinate measurement or other measurement equipment used for high accuracy inspection & measurement.

Our company is the earliest national professional producer of optical grating sensors in China and offers a comprehensive range of products. We are able to quote on special scales on request.
