POSITION MEASUREMENT PT9150	MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT CAN NOW OPERATE MORE RELIABLY BY USING CELESCO'S CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT TRANSDUCER Materials handling vehicles, such as fork lifts and AGVs, use telescoping masts for retrieving materials stored on upper shelves to ground level. To operate efficiently and safely, it is essential that the vehicle's telescoping mast have a position feedback signal. Typically, discrete or multi-staged measurement devices such as proximity switches are used, but they are imprecise, costly, difficult to install, and must be periodically remounted to maintain perfect alignment. Measurement products that use encoders on wheels or belts have not proven reliable since they frequently slip and cannot maintain constant friction. Now there is an ideal measurement solution.Click Here
