The speed control of my hydraulic belts currently consists of a 6-tooth sprocket affixed to the the shaft of the belt drive opposite of the hydraulic drive, and a prox switch witch counts drive revolutions. I have a program which times, individually, 4 complete revolutions of the shaft. Those times are then averaged to come up with a belt speed and then object dwell time. Does anybody else use this technique for speed control??? If so, do you have any advice for attaining more accurate speed readouts?
