Tony Petrecca, General Manager of Industrial Encoder Corporation, announces that “The IX700 Incremental Encoder and the AX700 Absolute Encoder have been widely adopted in hazardous duty applications and have demonstrated many competitive advantages in those applications.”

The IX700 and the AX700 are certified to EEx d IIC T6 (Tamb +60°C) and EEx d IIC T4 (Tamb +100°). The certification permits use in Zone 0 (Division 1), Zone 1 (Division 1), and Zone 2 (Division 2) applications and does not require an Intrinsic Safe Barrier for safe operation.

IEC’s Explosion Proof Encoders are currently applied in:

Petroleum Products Processing and Servicing,
Explosive Liquid Environments (solvent refining, spray painting, other vapors),
Explosive Dust Environments,
Printing Equipment,
Mining and Coal Processing
Cranes, and
Marine Applications.

Competitive Advantages of IEC’s Explosion Proof Encoders include:

Unbreakable Optical Disks
Machined Mechanical Parts from a Stainless Steel Bar (not cast) for integrity
Superior Mechanical Assemblies tolerant of misalignments and overloading
Modern ASIC design with 100% short circuit and reverse voltage protection
IP66/67 Sealing
6,000 rpm standard maximum speed with higher speed as an option
300,000 Khz. Frequency Response

IEC designs, manufactures, and markets Optical Encoders for demanding applications.
