Encoder Products Company (EPC), a US-based designer and manufacturer of motion feedback devices, has launched the LP1 Accu-LaserPro™, a non-contact encoder for packaging, labeling, material handling, and industrial automation applications. The LP1 will be introduced at PACK EXPO 2025 in Las Vegas.
Unlike traditional wheeled or shaft-mounted encoders, the LP1 Accu-LaserPro™ uses laser-based optical technology to measure speed and distance without physical contact, helping reduce slip, lower maintenance, and minimize marking or wear on materials.
Key Features of the LP1 Accu-LaserPro™
- Slip-free measurement – Laser optics provide precise speed and distance measurements even if the belt or product slips.
- Programmable encoder output – Adjustable A/B output up to 120 pulses/mm.
- Integrated trigger outputs – Two freely programmable outputs (push/pull, NPN, PNP) with reversible signal levels.
- Advanced trigger capabilities – Trigger and sequential trigger up to 6.5m distance, with trigger block and standstill threshold settings.
- Reverse lock function – Maintains channel accuracy even when products temporarily move backwards.
- Flexible Integration – Compact, non-contact design simplifies mounting and protects delicate products.
Applications
The LP1 is engineered for industries where precision, uptime, and product quality are critical—including:
- Packaging and labeling lines
- Print registration and cut-to-length systems
- Conveyor and material handling equipment
- High-speed production lines
EPC will showcase live demonstrations of the LP1 Accu-LaserPro™ at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Booth SL-11009.
