Rotary encoders which are capable of self-diagnosis and can indicate internal problems so that maintenance can be planned as early as possible.

Do you strive for increased productivity, lowered material consumption and quality improvement? Leine Lindes gap control solutions are easily integrated in steel mills and other metal processing industries. We offer extremely reliable and accurate gap control, to assure both the quality of the end product and the lowest possible material consumption.

In salty and humid environments, or where aggressive chemicals may be present, you need to select components that are resistant to corrosion.

Some of the liquids that are processed in the food industry are really acidic. Cleaning agents and other aggressive substances is frequently used in and around the machines and encoders used must withstand occasional splashes and exposure to such. For one of these machine manufacturers, Leine Linde developed a splash-proof and corrosion resistant absolute encoder used for positioning and synchronization in a packaging and filling machine used in the dairy industry.

In a cold rolling steel mill, very aggressive liquids are used in the rolling process, making it a very demanding environment. Not even an encoder in anodized aluminum would last here for more than possibly a year.
