This series of white papers describe how to dramatically reduce encoder failures and encoder-related downtime in a range of applications for encoders in oil drilling and rework applications, from the top drive to coil tubing rigs. Encoders are an essential part of the control system yet cause serious downtime issues—these papers explore problems and practical […]

Zero Encoder Failures For Over 20 Years?
Even in the dirty high-temperature environment of a steel strip mill in the Midwest, Avtron is proud to report that our Model 727 heavy mill duty encoders have been in continuous operation for over 20 years without replacement!
No-bearing Encoders Increase Quality
Output quality was a significant problem on a tension leveling line for one of our customers in Taiwan. Avtron Industrial Automation replaced Dynapar 62P foot-mounted encoders on the tension leveling line with Avtron M85 modular (no-bearing) encoders. The mill was able to improve quality through automatic extension control and all “off-gauge” product quality problems were […]
Avtron Eliminates Speed Regulation Problems!
In 1994, a large paper facility in the southern U.S. was experiencing slow line speeds and paper quality issues from speed regulation problems. Avtron Industrial Automation replaced the mill’s foot mounted analog tachogenerators with Avtron M385 heavy mill duty encoders. The mill’s line speeds increased significantly and their paper quality issues from speed regulation problems […]
