Leine & Linde Encoders Simplify Machine Safety Designs

-Redundant Incremental Encoders and Cables Eliminated-Schaumburg, IL - (March 2016) – As more and more automation finds its way into the manufacturing process, safety solutions are becoming necessary to protect operators. When the motion control relies upon feedback from incremental encoders this has, until now, usually resulted in a redundant encoder being introduced to assure reliable control. Leine & Linde’s innovative new technology allows incremental encoders to be applied where safe operation of machinery is necessary without requiring a redundant encoder or secondary sensing device.
