APV Baker makes significant savings by specifying the Penny and Giles SLS190 for its cracker laminator
The analogue T-Bar's conductive plastic track generates an signal proportional to the distance and direction over which the handle is moved.
It is available with a centre tap and dual (stereo) output.
The Digital T-Bar model incorporates a high quality optical incremental encoder that generates two channels of square waves in quadrature.
Data can be encoded by the host computer into movement in either direction.
The digital model also has a greater sweep angle and longer throw.
Both models are designed for use with an electronic controller.
They are noise-free and maintenance-free in operation and provide excellent performance with complete reliability.
Both can also be supplied with light or heavy 'feel' designed in. Request a free brochure from Penny + Giles ...
