Automated and electronically controlled systems abound in modern mobile equipment used in industries such as construction, material handling, mining, rail maintenance, agriculture, and firefighting. It’s critical that sensor technology be robust enough to handle the shock, vibration, dust, moisture and other hazards common to mobile equipment operating environments. For accurate control, an encoder provides reliable motion feedback.
