Tony Petrecca, General Manager of Industrial Encoder Corporation, announces that “The IX700 Incremental Encoder and the AX700 Absolute Encoder have been widely adopted in hazardous duty applications and have demonstrated many competitive advantages in those applications.”

The IX700 and the AX700 are certified to EEx d IIC T6 (Tamb +60°C) and EEx d IIC T4 (Tamb +100°). The certification permits use in Zone 0 (Division 1), Zone 1 (Division 1), and Zone 2 (Division 2) applications and does not require an Intrinsic Safe Barrier for safe operation.

IEC’s Explosion Proof Encoders are currently applied in:

Petroleum Products Processing and Servicing,
Explosive Liquid Environments (solvent refining, spray painting, other vapors),
Explosive Dust Environments,
Printing Equipment,
Mining and Coal Processing
Cranes, and
Marine Applications.

Competitive Advantages of IEC’s Explosion Proof Encoders include:

Unbreakable Optical Disks
Machined Mechanical Parts from a Stainless Steel Bar (not cast) for integrity
Superior Mechanical Assemblies tolerant of misalignments and overloading
Modern ASIC design with 100% short circuit and reverse voltage protection
IP66/67 Sealing
6,000 rpm standard maximum speed with higher speed as an option
300,000 Khz. Frequency Response

IEC designs, manufactures, and markets Optical Encoders for demanding applications. For more information regarding a specific application or the IEC competitive advantages, please contact either Tony Petrecca at 888-277-6205, or tony.petrecca@globalencoder.com or Jon Gum, Motion Control Research, at 435-627-1086, or jon.gum@globalencoder.com.

20,000 Elevator Encoders

November 19, 2007
__________________

Industrial Encoder Corporation (IEC), a worldwide acknowledged leader in the supply of Optical Encoders for demanding Industrial Applications, announces that 20,000 Optical Encoders have been shipped for installation into Elevator Applications within the past 10 years.

IEC’s complete product line of Solid Shaft and Hollow Shaft encoders have always used unbreakable optical disks for all applications, superior mechanical assemblies machined from solid Aluminum (Castings are never used) and a patented floating bearing assembly that is highly tolerant of misalignments and overloading, coupled with a conservative electronic design utilizing a modern custom ASIC, with 100% short circuit protection and reverse voltage protection.

The IH103 and IH950 are the primary encoders requested by the elevator segment with shaft bore diameters ranging from 0.625 to 1.625”. The IH950 and IH103 are available in any resolution up to a maximum of 50,000 ppr. Although most customers require a straight through shaft, specific mounting requirements are frequently accommodated.

Options for the IH 103 include Heavy Duty Ratings, IP67 sealing, Stainless Steel Body, and extended Temperature Range of -40° to +100° C.

IEC’s product line includes Incremental and Absolute Encoders from 1.1” to 5.8” in diameter and with shaft bores up to 4” in diameter.

IEC’s products have been proven and used extensively in Robots, Cranes, Forestry, Oil and Gas, Machining, Elevator, Factory Automation and Food Processing, and Energy Production applications. IEC is also certified to certain UL standards and for Explosion Proof requirements.

IEC designs, manufactures, and markets Optical Encoders for demanding applications. For more information please visit http://www.globalencoders.com/ or contact Tony Petrecca at 888-277-6205 or at tony.petrecca@globablencoder.com.

Motion Control Research Sales Efforts

Motion Control Research (MCR) works for many Motion Control Companies in the areas of market research, analysis, planning, acquisition strategy, growth initiatives, sales organization improvement, etc.
MCR has signed a Sales Representative agreement that precludes direct customer sales (but not matketing projects such as mentioned above) for encoder companies other than Industrial Encoder Corporation. You will see that we are taking an aggressive position with sales areas that are focused in Heavy Duty and in Hazardous Duty applications. There will be many Press Releases, some white papers and articles produced to support this effort. Each will be posted on www.motioncontrolresearch.com.
In addition, you might see MCR accept a Direct sales task for motors, drives, and possible other components of the Motion Control system.
Any application contributions that you would like to make are welcome.
