Scott Equipment Company supports Electro Cam programmable limit switches, rotary cam limit switches, encoders, resolvers and related motion-control products for manufacturers, OEMs and maintenance teams throughout North and South Carolina.
Electro Cam Programmable Limit Switches & Position Control
Electro Cam Corp. develops precision electronic motion-control products that replace or supplement mechanical cam systems in industrial machinery. Its current offering includes PS-5000 and PS-6000 programmable limit switches, EC-Series rotary cam limit switches, absolute Gray-code encoders, industrial resolvers, Nordson PC-54/PC-55 replacement controls and continued support for legacy PL-1746 systems.
Electronic Motion Control Since 1977
Electro Cam has produced precision motion-control products since 1977 and designs and manufactures its products in Roscoe, Illinois. The company specializes in replacing mechanical cam timing with programmable electronic control to improve timing precision, reduce mechanical wear and simplify machine changeover.
High-Speed Machine Timing
Programmable limit switches can switch machine devices directly, interface with PLCs or combine both approaches for position-dependent functions that require deterministic timing.
Electronic or Mechanical Cam Approaches
Electro Cam supports both programmable electronic timing and traditional rotary cam limit switches, allowing the control method to match machine speed, changeover frequency and maintenance requirements.
Rugged Shaft-Position Feedback
Absolute encoders and brushless resolvers provide industrial shaft-position feedback for Electro Cam controllers and other position-control applications.

Use these product areas as a starting point for packaging, assembly, material-handling, lumber-processing and other machinery requiring precise position-based outputs or shaft feedback.
PS-5000 Series Programmable Limit Switches
PS-5000 controllers provide individual-channel speed compensation, 64 standard programs with expanded memory options, timed outputs, motion detection and resolver-based scale factors. Available options include serial communication, analog output, Gray-code position output and 12-bit high-resolution operation.
Explore PS-5000 Series →PS-6000 Series Programmable Limit Switches
PS-6000 controllers add a modular controller/keypad architecture with multiple programs, output speed compensation, internal high-speed logic, timed outputs, analog output and motion detection. Options include Gray-code output, high resolution, expanded memory, leading/trailing-edge compensation, Modbus ASCII and multiple controllers using one resolver.
Explore PS-6000 Series →EC-Series Rotary Cam Limit Switches
EC-2000/2400 and EC-3000/3400 rotary cam limit switches provide shaft-driven mechanical/electrical timing for machines that are set up once and run for long periods without frequent product or format changes. Typical applications include cartoners, case packers, palletizers, gluing machines, presses and automatic assembly equipment.
Explore rotary cam limit switches →Absolute Gray-Code Encoders
PS-4256 and PS-4456 absolute encoders provide 8-bit Gray-code shaft-position signals for Electro Cam PLµS® controllers. Current products include NEMA 12 and NEMA 4X versions, with rugged industrial housings and selected low-temperature models.
Explore absolute encoders →Industrial Resolvers & Accessories
Electro Cam brushless resolvers use a two-phase stator and single-phase rotor to generate repeatable shaft-position signals. Current options include foot-mount, flange-mount and stainless-steel NEMA 4X designs with multiple shaft sizes, mounts and gear ratios.
Explore resolvers →Nordson Pattern Controls & Legacy PL-1746 Support
Electro Cam currently provides replacement controls and parts for Nordson PC-54 and PC-55 gluing applications. The PL-1746 controller family is being retired as new stock is depleted, but Electro Cam continues technical and repair support for installed PL-1746 systems.

Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review machine speed, shaft feedback, number and type of outputs, timing accuracy, program count, speed compensation, communication needs and legacy controller requirements. We can also coordinate Electro Cam products with PLCs, sensors, drives, valves and other machine-control hardware.
PLS Controller Selection
Compare PS-5000 and PS-6000 platforms based on output count, feedback type, programs, speed compensation, communications and machine architecture.
Cam Switch vs. Programmable Timing
Review whether a fixed rotary cam switch or programmable electronic solution better fits machine changeovers, timing complexity, speed variation and maintenance requirements.
Encoder & Resolver Replacement
Match shaft size, mounting style, enclosure, feedback type, cabling and environmental requirements when replacing or upgrading position-feedback hardware.
WBIYII Control Assemblies
Coordinate Electro Cam controllers, feedback devices, enclosures, power supplies, wiring and related controls into repeatable WBIYII assemblies or installation-ready kits.
Selection note: Final controller and feedback selection should be verified against machine speed, shaft geometry, output voltage/current, timing resolution, speed compensation, electrical noise, enclosure requirements and control-system architecture. Legacy replacement projects should also confirm the exact existing part number, feedback device, wiring and programmed machine functions before substitution.
Manuals, Software and Legacy Support Resources
Use these resources to review current product documentation, download controller software and troubleshoot existing Electro Cam installations.
Explore Supporting Automation Technologies
Electro Cam controls commonly integrate with PLCs, sensors, pneumatic or hydraulic valves, motors, drives and other machine-automation hardware.
