Profile: Schmitz Engineering Liaison specializes in providing precision encoders. Fiberoptic link encoders can be applied in electrically noisy environments such as heavy machine tools, plasma arc equipment and automatic welding gear. The fiberoptic cable accomodates up to four incremental encoders, and can be run through power supply line conduits, reducing system cost and complexity. Fiberoptic transmission allows remote sensing over long distances without concern for ground potentials, lightning strikes and other disturbances.
