Applications

  • Rotating Radar Systems (Defense & Maritime)
    This encoder is used to track rotational speed and angle in radar systems. Its high resolution ensures accurate signal positioning, even under harsh environmental conditions, supporting reliable radar sweep and object tracking.
  • Industrial Joysticks & Human Interfaces
    In advanced control panels and industrial joysticks, incremental encoders detect fine movements, translating rotation into precise directional signals—enabling smooth operator input in machinery and vehicles.

  • Pipeline Inspection Robots
    In inspection robots deployed inside pipelines, the encoder is mounted on wheel or cable mechanisms to track distance traveled, ensuring accurate location mapping and safer internal navigation.

  • Conveyor Line Synchronization (Intralogistics)
    On automated conveyor lines, the encoder monitors belt speed in real time, keeping multiple lines synchronized to prevent material jams or misaligned handoffs in distribution centers.

  • CNC Machine Feedback Systems
    Mounted on motor shafts in CNC equipment, it provides precise pulse feedback to control position and velocity—essential for tasks that demand micron-level accuracy like milling or drilling.

  • Robotic Arm Positioning
    Used in robotic joints, the encoder delivers continuous feedback for angular position and speed, enabling smooth, repeatable motion and accurate path correction during automation tasks.

  • High-Speed Printing Presses
    In rotary printing systems, the encoder ensures exact timing and sheet registration, critical for aligning graphics and reducing waste in fast-paced production environments.

  • Textile Machinery Control
    In looms and knitting systems, the encoder manages roll speed and alignment, maintaining consistent fabric tension and enabling accurate pattern execution throughout long production runs.
