Laserlab Linear Encoder codestrip

 

Laserlab manufactures custom optical encoder strips (codestrips) and wheels (codewheels) to your specifications


Linear codestrips

Linear codestrips are also called encoder scales. These strips are ideal for low-cost linear feedback applications where accurate position feedback is needed. A linear encoder provides direct position feedback and eliminates the position errors that occur when using a rotary encoder linked to a motor with leadscrew.

Rotary codewheels

Rotary codewheels are also called encoder discs or disks. They provide a low-cost way to get feedback in rotary or linear applications when used in conjunction with a lead screw. They are more compact and easier to mount than linear codestrips but only provide indirect feedback in linear applications.
