Incremental optical encoder is a device converting physical data to digital mode. In the motion control systerm, the function of incremental optical encoder is converting angle and position information to digital pulse signal. The A,B,Z 3 channels output in wave form. Direction and speed can be judged from the 3 channels.

Linear scale has the feature of waterproof, sturdy and durable, easy to install and optional various output mode. The manufacturer of the sensor has the quality control, better delivery control and better cost control characteristics.

Linear scale displacement position sensor is often used in machine tools, machining centers and measuring instruments. It can be used as an optical linear scale encoder displacement or angular displacement detection. CNC machine tools are often used to detect the coordinates of cutting tool and workpiece to observe and track the feed error of the tool to play the role of a motion error compensation of cutting tool.
