APPLICATIONS
Motion control
is the most common application, the
encoder is mounted directly to the end of a motor via
a shaft and provides feedback to a drive to verify that
the speed and direction is correct
Web speed or tension control
is another application
in which an encoder is mounted to, so that any
unevenness in the rotating speed of the tension roller
is fed to a controller to maintain an even tension
Length measurement applications
use an encoder
mounted on a wheel, in order to convert a linear
movement into a rotationangle, or number of rotations,
so providing a length measurement to control cutting,
folding or other operations
Conveying
is another common industry application
where encoders are used to control speed and position
of amotor or intermediate axle shafts along conveyors.
Encoder information is synchronized, for example, to
control barcode scanners or label printers
Automated packaging machinery
has many axes of
high-speed rotary motion that require feedback for
motion control, hence, the frequent need of encoders
for speed or position feedback, length measurement
and positioning applications
