Compliance with RoHS Directive

__________________


Industrial Encoder Corporation (IEC), a leading supplier of Optical Encoders for demanding industrial control systems, announces that it is in compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.

Industrial Encoder Corporation’s supplier contracts state that only RoHS compliant parts can be accepted to be used in the encoder manufacturing process. IEC’s Quality Control system maintains records from all applicable suppliers insuring that the parts provided to IEC are RoHS compliant. In addition IEC does not knowingly add or incorporate any prohibited materials into the process and IEC encoders are “lead-free”.

Parts or materials which contain the following are not accepted or used by IEC:

Over 0.1% by weight – Lead, Mercury, Hexavelent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)

Over 0.01% by weight – Cadmium

The process of RoHS compliance did not require that IEC change operating performance specifications of any encoder.

IEC’s product line includes Incremental and Absolute Encoders from 1.1” to 5.8” in diameter and with shaft bores up to 4” in diameter.

IEC’s products have been proven and used extensively in Robots, Cranes, Forestry, Oil and Gas, Machining, Elevator, Factory Automation, Food Processing, and Energy Production applications. IEC is also certified to certain UL standards and for Explosion Proof requirements.

IEC designs, manufactures, and markets Optical Encoders for demanding applications. For more information please visit
