Encoder with friction gear roller 4.5 m Carl Valentin 9067704

Encoder with friction gear roller 4.5 m Carl Valentin 9067704 is an industrial speed and position sensor (Encoder w. friction gear 4.5 m), designed for precisely synchronizing printing with the actual movement of the conveyor belt or packaging film. Equipped with a friction roller and a cable of approximately 4.5 meters, the encoder is ideal for installations where the printer is positioned at a greater distance from the measuring point.

Mounted so that the friction drive roller directly touches the belt, the encoder measures the effective line speed and transmits a proportional speed signal to the Carl Valentin DPM III, Dynacode II and Flexicode printers. In this way, the length and positioning of the printed message (date, batch, barcodes) remain constant, even with conveyor speed variations.

Main features

• Encoder w. friction gear 4.5 m – encoder with friction roller and 4.5 m cable;
• Ensures measurement of the actual belt speed, not just the set speed;
• Long cable, approximately 4.5 meters, for flexible mounting on extended lines;
• Robust construction for continuous industrial use 24/7;
• Optimizes printing synchronization with the movement of the film or products;
• Original Carl Valentin part, with guaranteed reliability and compatibility.

Equipment compatibility

The Carl Valentin 9067704 friction gear roller encoder is compatible with:

• DPM III – labeling systems / print & apply;
• Dynacode II – foil printing systems;
• Flexicode – direct thermal printing on film and flexible packaging.

Role and mode of operation

• The friction roller rests on the conveyor, film or packaging tape and takes over its movement;
• The mechanical movement is converted into electrical pulses (encoder signal) proportional to the speed;
• The printer uses these pulses to synchronize the printing speed with the line speed;
• Ensures constant text length and correct positioning of the code on the package;
• Automatically compensates for speed variations, preventing elongation or compression of the markings.

Applications recommended

• Variable speed flow-pack and thermoforming packaging lines;
• Printing production date, expiration date, batch code and barcodes on foils and bags;
• Packaging lines in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries;
• Traceability applications on flexible packaging, where mark positioning is critical;
• Integration into OEM packaging machines that require encoder-based control.

Operational benefits

• Guarantees uniform, legible and correctly positioned marks at any speed of line;
• Reduces waste caused by uncalibrated text or deformations of the printed code;
• Improves stability of the printing process on films and flexible packaging;
• Allows precise synchronization between the printer and the conveyor without frequent interventions;
• Increases productivity of the line, by reducing manual speed and length adjustments;
• As an original component, it maintains the conformity and reliability of Carl Valentin systems.
