Absolute Linear Encoders

TR Electronics’ Absolute Linear Encoders and position sensors (magnetostriction) measure linear movements e.g. in injection molding machines without contact and wear-free, or are integrated directly into hydraulic cylinders. Cascadable position sensors position parting units. High-resolution absolute position measuring systems with a glass scale ensure precise positioning on machine tools. And laser sensors based on phase difference measuring techniques position aisle stackers in the desired position extremely precisely in warehousing and materials handling technology.

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Absolute Linear Encoders as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
