Rotating Welding Apparatus
Measuring Linear Speed of a Rotating Container for Welding Application
To be able to measure the linear speed of rolling container at a rate of 4 to 10 inches per minute.
Description
Using a DT-5TS with a rotary encoder attached to a 12-inch circumeference wheel it can monitor the linear
speed of a rotating container. With the RE1B-60F rotary encoder the DT-5TS can measure values as low as 0.2-
30,000 RPM. Using the 12 inch circumference wheel a relationship between RPM and inch per minute can be
established. If a relay or proportional analog output signal is desired to connect to a controller or data logger,
the Series DT-5XR with appropriate output module will satisfy the requirement.
