Encoder Applications by Industry

Rotary Encoders for Airport Baggage Handling and Conveyor Systems

Encoders for Baggage Handling • Runway Systems • Conveyors • Sorting Lines



Why Encoders Matter in Airport Automation

check-3  Precision & Reliability

Encoders provide real-time, high-resolution feedback on speed, direction, and position—critical for baggage conveyors, diverter arms, and sorting lines.

check-3  Minimize Downtime

Rugged, industrial-grade encoders from Encoder Products Company (EPC) are built to last in harsh environments. We help reduce maintenance needs and unplanned failures.

check-3  Engineered for Integration

Whether you’re upgrading an MRO system or designing a new automated line, our encoders are easy to integrate with common PLCs, motion controllers, and airport SCADA systems.

check-3  Solutions for Every Application

  • Baggage Handling – Incremental encoders with quadrature output for speed and direction control

  • Runway Equipment – Absolute encoders for precision tracking in gate and bridge automation

  • Sorting & Diverter Lines – Programmable models for flexibility in changeover and timing

  • Conveyors – Compact, sealed encoders for tight installations and washdown-rated needs
