Enhance Machine Performance with AMCI Rotary Encoders - Accuracy You Can Trust

Accuracy and reliability. Two absolute non-negotiables in today’s competitive industrial landscape. Especially when it comes to machine performance. Even the smallest error in positioning or feedback can lead to costly downtime, reduced efficiency and compromised safety. The ability to generate position data that your process can rely on, every time, hinges on your choice of rotary encoder.

At iOpen, we’re proud to partner with AMCI to supply their specialised industrial control solutions, trusted worldwide for their precision, durability and seamless integration into automation systems. AMCI’s offering of rotary encoders promises to perform - on high-speed packing lines, overhead cranes, conveyors, in complex manufacturing processes or even robotics applications - for meticulous machine efficiency to help achieve greater productivity with confidence.

What Are Rotary Encoders?

A rotary encoder is a sensing device that converts angular position into an electrical (analog or digital) signal. We select a rotary encoder if we need to know the angle of a shaft, the number of turns for a rotating axis or velocity data for that axis. Simply put, the encoder tells your system “where” a component is and “how fast” it is moving. This is, of course, critical data for faultless machine operation.

There are two main types of rotary encoders:

• Incremental Encoders: produce electrical pulses or “counts” with a change in position. The incremental encoders do not store position after a power failure, therefore we can think of them as centres that measure a relative change in position, as opposed to actual position. The pulses generated as the shaft rotates are ideal for speed and direction monitoring.
• Absolute Encoders: provide unique position values, for every shaft or linear position. Absolute encoders retain their exact position after a power cycle even if there is no movement. This ensures the machine “knows where it is” even after power loss. These encoders are used in applications where current position information is required.

Both play a vital role in industrial automation, delivering feedback that drives precise motion control, efficiency and system safety.
