Understanding the Working Principle of Incremental Optical Encoders | OEM Manufacturer

Gertech (Weihai) Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality incremental optical encoders. These encoders are designed to provide precise and accurate position feedback for a variety of industrial applications.

The working principle of incremental optical encoders is based on the detection of changes in light patterns caused by the movement of a disc with alternating opaque and transparent segments. This movement generates a series of pulses that are counted and interpreted to determine the position of the encoder.

Gertech's incremental optical encoders are designed with the latest technology and are suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. They offer high resolution, excellent accuracy, and reliable performance, making them ideal for use in robotics, motion control systems, CNC machines, and more.

Whether you're an OEM or a system integrator, you can rely on Gertech (Weihai) Automation Technology Co., Ltd. to deliver high-quality incremental optical encoders that meet your specific requirements. Contact us today to learn more about our products and how we can help you improve your industrial processes.
  • Our new product is an incremental optical encoder, based on the principle of electro-optical detection. It is designed and engineered for precision measurement and position control applications. The encoder works on the principle of detecting the rotation or linear displacement of an encoded disk, which has uniformly spaced slits, using a light source and detector, in order to provide an output signal or feedback based on changes in its position. This encoder is capable of providing high resolution, accuracy and reliability, as it uses non-contact detection, resulting in reduced wear and tear, and higher efficiency. It has a modular design, allowing it to fit a wide range of industrial machines and equipment. The working principle of an incremental optical encoder involves generating pulse signals in response to incremental movements of the encoded disk, providing corresponding feedback. Our encoder also features outstanding stability, even in harsh environmental conditions, as it is built to withstand dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The incremental optical encoder is widely used in applications that require high precision such as in robotics, printing machines, CNC machines, and other industrial control applications. It is an excellent solution, providing reliable, and accurate positioning feedback. With its unbeatable performance, ease of installation and precision position sensing capabilities, our incremental optical encoder is a valuable addition to any industrial operation.
