Re: Great deals on encoders

The encoders are HEDS9100-A00 model.

From HP's web site:The HEDS-9000 and HEDS-9100 are designed for use with
codewheels which have an optical radius of 23.36 mm and 11 mm respectively.
The HEDS-9200 is designed for use with a linear codestrip.
The full data sheet is at
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/accesshp/HP-COMP/motion/heds9000.pdf

I just talked with the tech people at US Digital and the answer appears to
be that by design and specification it will not work, but they have never
tried it and think that if the correct LPI strip was used it may be
functional. His calculations are that it would use a strip with 183.8 +- 10%
LPI. So the best resolution would only be about .0015

Based upon the +-10% he thinks the stock 200 LPI strip may work.
