ENCODER PRODUCTS COMPANY REACHES MAJOR MILESTONE
This Year Marks EPC’s 50th Anniversary
SAGLE, Idaho: This year is Encoder Product Company's 50th anniversary. What began in one engineer's garage in 1969, with the world's first cube encoder, is now a world-wide enterprise including locations in the UK, China, and India, with their main location in Sagle, Idaho - where a 100,000 square-foot, vertically-integrated facility houses the corporate headquarters and main factory.
Today, Encoder Products Company (EPC) produces an array of motion feedback solutions, with many more new motion feedback solutions in development. EPC's line of encoders includes:
• The innovative line of Tru-Trac™ linear measurement solutions, all-in-one solutions with encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm
• Thru-bore motor-mount incremental encoders
• Heavy-duty shaft encoders
• Magnetic encoder modules
• Programmable encoders
• Absolute encoders with SSI, CANopen, and EtherCAT® communications
"At Encoder Products we have always focused on being responsive to our customers' needs," says John Meschko, EPC's CEO and Chief Engineer. "We focus on priorities that are important to our customers to provide innovative products and excellent service that gives them the best overall value for their money. We work hard to meet or exceed their expectations. Looking forward, we are excited to continue the company's traditions with new products and innovations in the world of motion feedback devices."
About Encoder Products Company:
Encoder Products Company (EPC) is a leading designer and world-wide manufacturer of motion sensing devices. EPC began operations in 1969, producing a line of custom encoders from a small, home-based shop.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
