The ECL product line features compact design, making it an ideal choice for restricted spaces. It employs a modular design, offering various options for measurement length, interfaces, and encoders. The series uses spring-mounted measuring drums, allowing for adjustment without couplings, ensuring stable high-precision measurement. Customized terminal outlets prevent the pull wires from being affected by vibration. The analog signal options come with intuitive teaching functions, facilitating customers in easily completing system integration.
