ENCODER AND READOUT APPLICATION

(OP)
I NEED AN INEXPENSIVE ROTARY ENCODER/DIGITAL READOUT TO INCORPORATE INTO A CUTOFF DEVICE FOR ROLL FORMED PARTS THAT ARE PREFORMED TO VARIOUS LENGTHS AND RADII. PLUS OR MINUS .010" WOULD BE SUFFICIENT ACCURACY. LENGHTS TO 12'. READOUT IN FEET AND TENTHS OF FEET. "0" RESET REQUIRED ON READOUT DEVICE. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.   

RE: ENCODER AND READOUT APPLICATION

Go to Google and enter "ROTARY ENCODER DIGITAL READOUT" hunt around!  100k returned

Also look at http://www.omega.com/

When you find one, give us a clear explanation of what you are going to do with it, and which one you are considering.  

We would be glad to review your selection.

RE: ENCODER AND READOUT APPLICATION

As a student, I part-timed with an outfit that made retrofit CNC controls and readouts.

They manufactured digital controls and readouts to retrofit on manually operated machines.

You might try searching: retrofit CNC or retrofit digital readouts and also look in machine shop trade publications.

That's where we advertised.
