Precision Encoders for Labeling Accuracy



Get the SPEED, PRECISION, and RELIABILITY your labeling equipment demands. From rotary feedback to linear measurement, EPC has your labeling application covered.

 



Why Use Encoders in Labeling Machines?



Labeling systems require tight synchronization and precise feedback to ensure consistent label placement. Encoders deliver real-time speed and position data to your control system, enabling:

  • Accurate label feed timing
  • Product spacing and gap detection
  • Label position verification
  • Web tension control
  • Start/stop commands based on sensor input

Whether it’s rotary or linear measurement, encoders are the center of a well-tuned labeling system.

 


Features That Matter in Labeling Applications


Linear Encoders for Label Web & Conveyor Systems



 

Labeling lines often require accurate distance measurement—especially for web length, conveyor motion, and cut-to-length processes. Linear encoders with measuring wheels provide:

  • High-resolution linear feedback
  • Accurate label registration
  • Speed matching between web and applicator
  • Real-time conveyor tracking

Pair our encoders with measuring wheels and brackets for plug-and-play linear measurement.
