Encoder systems for linear position detection

For precise positioning in systems that are prone to slip, it is necessary to install a measuring system on the track in addition to the encoders installed on the motor.

  • Laser encoders
    • For measuring distances up to approx. 250 m
    • No curve mobility
  • Barcode positioning system
    • Can be used for measuring very long distances
    • Curve mobility and switches are possible
  • Code rail
    • Can be used for measuring distances up to approx. 320 m
    • Very robust system
    • Curve mobility and switches are possible
  • Wire-actuated encoders
    • Robust system
    • Ideal for vertical applications
