I would say it is. But whats its recovery time if the part is moving away? IOW, if sensing gear teeth, how fast can it repeat? The ats-667's I used 3 of in the Sheldon seem plenty fast, but they are only looking at a 60 tooth gear thats hard put to get to 1600 revs, under 500 in 99% of the cases, so I'm am not asking them for much compared to the omron on the G0704's motor. The ats667 seems to be about ideal for a gear whose teeth are nominally 1/8" thick. How it would perform on a gear whose teeth were only 1/16th inch thick is TBD. Perhaps they make one for higher pitched gears too. IDK. IIRC the ats is around a 4 microsecond response time, but it also costs 6x more, which makes this a more attractive solution. Certainly worth playing with to see. > regards > bkt > > 2018-02-11 23:47 GMT+01:00 jeremy youngs <jcyoung...@gmail.com>: > > How fast are these?
