Linear Encodeur Scale 150LPI - L5000 - W25

Linear Encoder Scale 150 LPI – L5000 – W25

The Linear Encoder Scale 150 LPI is an encoder tape used in linear positioning systems for industrial machinery, particularly in large format printers and precision equipment.

It works with an optical sensor to accurately measure the position of the carriage or a moving axis. This measurement ensures extremely precise positioning during machine movements.

With a length of 5000 mm, this encoder tape can be trimmed to fit smaller printers or equipment.

Technical specifications

• Type: Linear Encoder Scale
• Resolution: 150 LPI (Lines Per Inch)
• Length: 5000 mm
• Width: 25 mm
• Technology: Optical encoder tape
• Adaptation: Can be cut to size for smaller machines

Compatibility and use

• Industrial large format printers
• CNC machines and automated systems
• Used in particular on certain HP Scitex printers

⚠️ For HP Scitex printers: installing this coding tape generally requires reusing the aluminium bar from the old coding tape.

Function

• Precise measurement of the position of a linear axis
• Control of carriage or gantry positioning
• Synchronisation of machine movements
• Maintaining the precision of industrial operations

Possible symptoms in case of wear

• Positioning errors
• Print misalignment
• Loss of movement precision
• Error messages related to axis sensors

Replacing the encoder tape restores accurate and reliable positioning of the movement system.
