SuperTrak Conveyance Platform Overview
Encoder Assemblies
Each straight section, 180 deg. section (500 mm), and 90 deg. section has two (2)
encoder assemblies: a left encoder assembly and a right encoder assembly. Every
encoder assembly has eight (8) encoder read heads, which look like black squares
on the top of the encoder assembly. The encoders are used for pallet position
feedback.
Encoder numbering begins at the left side of a left encoder assembly and ends at
the right side of the right encoder assembly. The following diagram illustrates how
the encoders are numbered 0 to 15 from left to right, for each SuperTrak
conveyance platform section:
Each 180 deg. section (800 mm) has
four (4) encoder assemblies: a left
encoder assembly, two (2) center
encoder assemblies, and a right
encoder assembly. The functionality is
the same as described above except
that the encoders are numbered 0 to 7
from left to right, as pictured at right.
