Hi all.
We have a machine that's broken and I think I've whittled the problem down to the encoder because its not correctly getting position feedback.
I just wondered if there's any Gurus that can confirm/deny my findings.
I think from the research I've done that this is an optical incremental linear encoder as the pins on the electronics board are +12v, 0V, A, B.
It looks like a single scale with no Z feedback. I'm not sure if its quadrature output, is there an easy way to tell? Also is there an easy well to tell the resolution of the encoder?
I've included a few pictures. Sorry the picture of the encoder is poor. I had to leave site. I could get a better one if required. I cant find any reference to the codes on the encoder on the internet.
Any light shed on this situation would be a great help. Thanks.
