Conair uses bi-directional encoders to ensure that only product
that moves forward is counted.
Installing the encoder consists of sever-
al parts:
● the encoder
● the measuring wheel
● the connecting cable
The encoder is fitted with a one foot
circumference wheel which rides on
either the upper belt of the belt puller or (for rigid profiles and
pipe) on the extrudate itself upstream of the puller.
The encoder is supplied with an integral mounting bracket.
How and where you attach the encoder to the puller depends
on your particular puller and application.
● If the wheel rides on the puller belt, make sure that its lin-
ear alignment is the same as the belt. Place the wheel near
the center of the belt to minimize bouncing. Try to avoid
cracks and other belt features that may effect accuracy.
● Make sure the location allows you to keep the wheel
clean. Any small buildup on the wheel will effect its cir-
cumference and change the cut length.
After the encoder is installed, attach it to the cutter control
using the supplied cable. The cable has been hard-wired to the
control at the factory.
