Linear encoder for press brake applications

Fagor Automation introduces the PB series linear encoder especially designed for press brake applications. The large forces required in metal forming operations can provoke machine deformation which in turn puts strain on the linear encoder

This strain will affect the performance of the linear encoder and may lead to a reduction of accuracy or repeatability in the forming operation.

To overcome this problem Fagor Automation has designed an incremental linear encoder especially for press brake applications. The linear encoder is supplied as a pre assembled unit. The linear encoder and reader head are connected to the aluminum support and it can be connected directly to the machine.
