Description
The Autonics Incremental Encoder is a precision sensor designed to convert rotary motion into electrical signals. It is commonly used in industrial automation and motion control systems to measure the position, speed, and direction of rotating machinery or equipment. The encoder consists of a rotating disk with slits or markings and a light source and sensor to detect the changes in light as the disk rotates. Each rotation results in a specific number of electrical pulses, allowing precise and accurate feedback to the control system. The incremental encoder is known for its reliability, high resolution, and fast response, making it an essential component in various applications such as CNC machines, robotics, and conveyor systems.
