Re: ENCODER INSTALLATION: INDEX PULSE PROBLEM
The FAR better solution would have been to purchase the line-driver version of the encoder they are using and dispense with the added expense of designing and building a converter.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Gears have lash....
thank you for your suggestion, If I will notice this problem then I will update the encoder fixing following your setup
Best Regards Stefano
if you remount the encoder with a belt, do not put sideloads on the encoder, the pulley should have its own bearings and the encoder mountet with a coupling to the pulleyshaft.
