Incremental Encoders Incremental Encoders are the most common types used in the industry due to
the simplicity of their use. Each encoder is comprised of an optical disc
with the required number of lines together with an (HRS) reading system
coupled with a single L.E.D. for longer life, reliability and enhanced
performance. Either speed or relative position can be determined by
monitoring the frequency or the number of pulses generated by the encoder. |
Absolute Encoders
Absolute encoders are commonly used within the industry to measure the
precise position as opposed to the relative position measured by incremental
encoders. The main feature of absolute encoders is the ability to retain
positional data in the event of the absence of power. The GESgroup
also incorporates the (HRS) and single L.E.D. reading system to achieve
outstanding performance and reliability. Because of this technology we are
able to produce a superior product at economical prices. |

Harsh & Hazardous Area Encoders
The Global requirements for automated equipment to operate in hazardous
areas have increased over recent years. By combining the advanced technology
from our standard product range with our expertise in international
approvals, we are the first encoder manufacturer to offer a complete range
of products suitable for use in all classified hazardous locations.
Additionally our unique modular certification method enables us to offer
custom solutions to companies who design & operate equipment in this very
specialized field. |
Commutation Encoders
New applications have opened up for motor and drive system manufacturers,
thanks to our newly designed Commutation Signal Encoders. Motor
manufacturers no longer need to use a Resolver, they can use our Commutation
Encoder which has both Incremental Signals and Commutation Signals as part
of a mixed system. The concept is to use the Commutation Signals to steer
the motor and the Incremental Signals for precision speed control feedback.
Motor applications are the most demanding type of applications for any
encoder. The encoder is expected to operate at high frequencies under
extreme temperatures, high shaft speeds and high vibration. To achieve this
would have been impossible without spending an enormous amount of time and
money on our new product. Because of our commitment we can now offer our
leading edge technology to this highly demanding industrial sector. |
