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

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task

In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
