Just off the top of my head, but it seems if it reads movement, but will not home, maybe the problem is not in the actual scale unit?
Thanks Tim, it's actually on that huge tube shear I showed you. The application is VERY specific as it must work with the Unico drive, which requires a specific type of input signal. I can buy read heads and encoders all day, but they are either absolute or multiple ref. or don't produce the same output signal, etc.....

I really need to hope for a fix on my current head. Maybe I'll get some pics up this A.M.
