Visitors to our booth can see our new absolute hollow-bore, the MA58H. And they can get a demonstration of the software on our new line of programmable Accu-CoderPro™ encoders, the shaft Model 25SP and the thru-bore Model 58TP.

Talking PACK EXPO with Encoder

Contributed by | Encoder

​Your company will be exhibiting at PACK Expo, what is it that makes this an important event for your company?

Encoders are a vital component in packaging machinery, yet even some engineers are not well-versed in the options for their equipment. PackExpo gives us a chance to get face-to-face with the engineers, designers, and OEMs who need encoders for their applications.

 

What can a visitor to your booth expect to see this year?

Our Tru-Trac™ line of linear measurement solutions are always interesting for packaging applications. With an encoder and measuring wheel in one, compact unit, the Tru-Trac™ models are excellent solutions for many applications.

 

Any new products you will be introducing?

Visitors to our booth can see our new absolute hollow-bore, the MA58H. And they can get a demonstration of the software on our new line of programmable Accu-CoderPro™ encoders, the shaft Model 25SP and the thru-bore Model 58TP.

 

When you get a chance to walk the exhibit hall floor yourself, what is it you will be most interested to see?

It’s interesting to see the developments and advancements in the technology of motion control. We keep a close eye on that so we can gear our product development toward what’s coming next.

 

PACK Expo has many educational sessions & Demo’s, is your company involved in any of them this year?  

We are not, but we have some interesting demos at our booth, including a dunk tank that completely submerges our Model 30M to demonstrate its IP69K seal!

 

When you book a booth for a tradeshow like this what are your expectations and what does your company hope to accomplish at the event?

At events like PackExpo, our expectation is to interact with people whom we would not have had an opportunity  to encounter through other channels. Our goal is to expose as many people as possible to our encoder solutions.

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
