pulse per rev in the controller? I have some CUI Inc. encoders.
Hi, Ralph,
Is it possible?? Yes.? Is it worth your time?? The encoder I used cost around $15, so I would vote "no" if it was me, but to each his own.? Putting it on the motor shaft could be advantageous; you would have to determine how the number of pulses converted to spindle rotations.? It might be possible to use the AMT102-V encoder... you would have to isolate it mechanically because it won't take any radial load, but it would likely be possible.

John or Richard could answer this question better, but I am fairly certain that you
can enter the number of pulses per revolution in the software.
