Non-contact linear encoder for railways

Long-distance measurement is also supported by a magnetic system. Achieves maintenance-free and infinite measurement distance.

In the railway industry, accurate train position detection is essential for safe operations. In particular, accurately understanding the vehicle's position information and its relationship with the platform is crucial for accident prevention and improving operational efficiency. Even in locations where laser measurement or wire encoders cannot be installed, our non-contact linear encoders achieve long-distance measurement, enhancing the safety and reliability of railway systems. 【Use Cases】 - Vehicle position detection - Detection of the relationship with the platform - Monitoring the operation of railway equipment 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved safety through accurate position information acquisition - Reduced maintenance frequency - Flexible installation due to long-distance measurement - Increased reliability through stable operation
