High Precision Chemical Etched Encoder Discs For Motion Control Systems

Etched encoder discs serve as indispensable components in motion control technologies, delivering high-resolution positional and velocity data critical for precision-driven mechanisms.

Xinhaisen employs state-of-the-art chemical etching processes to fabricate encoder discs with micron-level accuracy, producing intricate optical patterns that capture rotational parameters with sub-micron resolution. These precision-engineered discs form the operational backbone of advanced servo systems across aerospace instrumentation, CNC machinery, semiconductor manufacturing, and automated guided vehicles, maintaining motion synchronization in mission-critical applications.

The Encoder Discs we etched:
Using photo chemical etching machining technique, Xinhaisen manufactures custom metallic encoder discs with customer’s drawings. So that we can fabricate metal encoder discs with a wide variety of precise patterns, such as, capacitive encoder disc, optical encoder disc, reflective encoder disc, and magnetic encoder disc etc.
