Maybe the company I am working for: Pepperl+Fuchs. http://www.pepperl-fuchs.com I am not working for the encoder division so that I am not familiar with the encoder product. They are developed in Germany so I think the product will be quite reliable but I am not so sure about the price.

Which ones have you guys purchased before and found to be with in a reasonable price range with the applications you are dealing with. Sorry for the lack of detail... but I'm just looking for input. : ) Cheers, Linda Chen -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
