Linear Incremental

Perforated Metal Tape Encoders

Meterdrive Z-200

Industry

  In Depth

    Z-200
    Z-300


  A simple solution for measurement and positioning at high speeds: An opto-electronic dector head moves along a perforated steel tape, registering the number of holes, at speeds up to 10 m/s.

  The flexible, stainless steel tape is stretched between two points and does not need to be fixed accurately to a flat base, allowing an wasy mounting.

  Absence of mechanical parts and large perforations (2mm) ensures that the system has excellent life and wear characteristics.

Most Common Applications are:

· Profile, tube and panel   cutting.
· Positioning of robots or   pneumatic/hydraulic   cylinders.
· Gantry positioning.
· Automatic storage etc...

 

Z-200 range

This range includes optical linear incremental coders using a metallic perforated rule as reference. Maximum resolution is 1 mm. It is particularly suitable for displacement measurements in automatic conveying. Useable measuring lenghts are up to 250 m. 
For more resolution see : 
Z-300 range with integrated interpolator giving a 0.1 mm resolution. 
Products are as follows :
