Photoelectric Rotary Encoder AP58
Photoelectric Rotary Encoder AP58 series is a set of programmable photoelectric rotary encoders
that consists of AP58M, AP58B, AP58C, AP58C2, AP58C3, AP58D, AP58HE1 depending on required mounting parameters.
Through the programming tool that constitutes of a USB cable and Windows compatible software,
the user can set a desired pulse number per revolution from 1 to 65.536.
Software is supplied free of charge and can be found on the official website of Precizika Metrology.
It can be installed on any PC running a Windows operating system (Windows XP or later).
