Industry Applications
Since 2011, millions of BriterEncoders have been widely used across industries for various feedback needs.
AGV Steering Wheel
In AGV applications, multi-turn absolute encoders play a crucial role in the steering wheel. AGVs, which are unmanned vehicles used in facilities like factories and warehouses for automated material handling, rely on steering wheels to control direction. Multi-turn absolute encoders accurately measure the steering wheel’s rotation angle, ensuring precise navigation and path control.Unlike standard encoders, multi-turn encoders can precisely measure multiple revolutions, avoiding cumulative error issues. This capability provides AGVs with accurate positioning, real-time control, and durability.
Tower Crane
The application of rotary encoders on tower cranes in construction machinery primarily involves measuring and controlling the crane’s rotation angle. During operations, tower cranes need to rotate, and rotary encoders precisely measure the crane’s rotational angle. These measurements are then transmitted to the control system to achieve accurate control and positioning.
Automotive Industry
Rotary encoders are widely used in the automotive industry within steering systems to measure vehicle steering angles. By installing rotary encoders on steering columns or mechanisms, vehicle steering angles can be accurately measured and transmitted to the vehicle’s control system. This is crucial for vehicle handling and safety.
