Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of an industrial sensor similar to what is used for positioning the pointer of a mouse (on an optical mouse).
Something similar to what is shown here, but in a pre-packaged solution:

Ideally it would be an incremental output, as I am just using it to verify movement of material that may slip when being driven by a friction drive wheel. I don't need high accuracy, typically once the material starts to slip it will not move at all as the friction drive carves grooves in the material.
Hoping someone around here can help out!
Thanks
