Nuicon

Measuring Wheel Encoders for Length & Speed Tracking

Slipping belts ruin your cut accuracy. Nuicon Measuring Wheel Encoders solve this with constant contact. Combining a robust rotary encoder with a spring-loaded arm and a high-grip wheel, this system rides directly on your material—whether it’s fabric, cardboard, or wood. It delivers precise linear feedback for cut-to-length and speed monitoring applications, ensuring every cut hits the mark.

Why Choose Nuicon?

Complete Assemblies

We sell the full kit—Encoder + Wheel + Spring Arm—pre-assembled and ready to mount.

Wheel Advice

We help you match the wheel surface (knurled vs. smooth) to your material to prevent marking.

Rugged Arms

Our mounting arms are metal, not plastic, built to withstand conveyor vibration.

Stock

Standard 500mm and 200mm wheels available in Bengaluru.

Key Features

  • Integrated Spring Arm: The heavy-duty spring arm applies constant pressure, absorbing vibration and ensuring the wheel never loses contact with the moving surface.
  • Surface Specific Wheels: We offer different treads for different jobs: Rubber for cardboard/wood, Diamond Knurl for carpet/fabric, and Smooth Plastic for delicate films.
  • High Resolution: Obtain sub-millimeter accuracy by pairing a precise 200mm or 500mm circumference wheel with a high-resolution encoder.
  • Slip-Free Tracking: By measuring the material directly (instead of the motor shaft), you eliminate errors caused by drive belt slippage.

Technical Specifications

  • Wheel Circumference: 200 mm / 500 mm
  • Resolution: 1 mm / 0.1 mm / 0.01 mm (configurable)
  • Arm Loading: Adjustable Spring Tension
  • Output: Push-Pull / Line Driver / RS422
  • Wheel Material: Hytrel (Rubber) / Aluminum / Plastic
  • Protection: IP64 / IP65

Real-World Applications

  • Cut-to-Length: Measuring fabric, paper, or metal sheets before the guillotine cuts them to size.
  • Inkjet Printing: Synchronizes the print head speed with the conveyor speed to prevent distorted barcodes or logos.
  • Logistics Sorting: Tracks the exact position of packages on a sorting belt for accurate diverter timing.
  • Textile Machinery: Measures cloth length on winding rolls without damaging delicate fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Use Rubber/Hytrel for smooth surfaces like paper or metal. Use Knurled Aluminum for rough surfaces like carpet or wood.

 The wheels are replaceable. You can swap out just the wheel without replacing the entire encoder.

 Yes, the spring arm can be mounted in any orientation (top, bottom, side) as long as it maintains pressure.
