Optical Encoders
A optical encoder is an electromechanical sensor device that uses
infrared emitting diodes, infrared detectors and an optical grating to convert
angular position or motion to an electrical signal. The light shines on to the
optical grating which has been designed to allow or block the passage of light
with opaque and clear segments. The optical detector detects the lights
passage and generates a corresponding signal as the optical grating is moved via
a shaft input. This digital information is then transmitted to the data
processor
Optical
encoders are capable of producing precise digital signals making them the
ideal option for use in high precision devices such as computer mice and photo
copiers, medical devices and production processes that demand a high degree of
accuracy.
Kempston Controls stocks an select range
of optical encoders from market leading manufacturers such as Hengstler
and Baumer
designed to suit many applications. Give our dedicated sales team a call on +44
