PPI For Conveyor or Web Applications
The RH encoder, also known as a Pulse Position Indicator (PPI),
generates tracking pulses for web applications, and in particular for material handling sortation applications
when used with barcode laser scanners or CCD vision systems. It typically
is equipped with two 12 inch or 30 centimeter circumference measuring wheels that ride directly
on the conveyor belt or web, eliminating any slippage problems typically
encountered with shaft encoders. With its double wheel construction, the encoder is
self-aligning when allowed to pivot freely from its integral arm. The
encoder’s weight is sufficient to maintain contact when mounted above
the moving material. Special mounting accessories are also available for
mounting the encoder from below.
For High Resolution Applications the RH-1800/3600 encoder generates
both 1800 and 3600 pulses per revolution, making it suitable for high resolution
printing and CCD scanner applications. When used with precision 12”
circumference measuring wheels (MW-1-B) it generates 150 and 300 pulses per inch
of linear movement. Please inquire about other similar models.
