Advancing linear measurement with programmable encoder technology

A proven solution in linear measurement is the TR1 Tru-Trac measuring wheel encoder. This compact, all-in-one unit integrates an encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm, simplifying installation while ensuring consistent surface contact. With flexible mounting, adjustable torsion load, and operation up to 3000 ft/min, the TR1 delivers reliable performance across demanding industrial applications.

Building on this, the TRP Tru-TracPro introduces full field programmability, allowing resolution adjustments from 1 to 100,000 counts per revolution without hardware changes. This eliminates the need to replace components when requirements shift. Additional features such as multiple waveform options, in-situ calibration, and intuitive programming software enable precise system tuning directly on-site.

This software-driven approach reduces complexity across design, commissioning, and maintenance. Engineers can standardise on a single configurable solution, improving flexibility and reducing inventory requirements.

Widely used in machine building, packaging, robotics, and material handling, these solutions support applications such as cut-to-length, spooling, and print registration. The transition from fixed hardware to adaptable systems reflects a broader shift in motion control, delivering greater efficiency, faster setup, and improved overall performance.
