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.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
