OGD is a minority owned and operated engineering, design and manufacturing company, located in the rural countryside near Cooperstown, NY, and has been in business for over 20 years.
OGD manufactures and markets a line of superior performance Rotary Optical Encoders, and high accuracy, compact, low cost, easy-to-use, "Rotary Digital Optical Encoders".
Encoders are found in machine tools, business machines, robots, elevators, autos, industrial systems, computer peripherals, and much more.
OGD has also developed and patented a unique product and concept that is built upon a totally new method of programming: Optical/Graphical Programming & Processing "(OP/GP)".
A new line of encoders using this OP /GP technology has been developed that can be used to directly commutate and control a range of electric motors and machines including AC induction motors.
OGD patented technology is used in new motion control solutions and products for the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry. We manufacture a new line of Variable Speed Products that Improve Electric Motor Control and Efficiency far superior to other control products.
The first product, The OGD Adaptive Climate Controller (ACC) is designed for use with single phase AC induction motors up to 2 hp and eliminates the need for costly special purpose or inverter duty motors.
This novel product goes well beyond just "Variable Speed". The unit′s system climate sensor provides real time environmental feedback, allowing ordinary AC Single speed motors to operate as a "Programmable, Intelligent, Adaptive Speed Control System".
The use of this technology in HVAC systems by schools, hotels, hospitals, assisted care facilities, office buildings, residential homes, and retail businesses, can result in a more comfortable and healthier indoor climate, reduced noise levels, less stress on motors, and significant electrical energy savings.
