Sick UK's new Ethernet/IP AFS60
single-turn and AFM60 multi-turn
encoders offer diagnostic and
monitoring capabilities for improved
plant reliability and availability.
Designed for both precision applications and harsh industrial conditions, the encoders integrate DLR (Device Level Ring) technology for continuous monitoring of network integrity. Network communications can be rebuilt seamlessly in the event of a cable break. The position of the break is reported, enabling remedial action.
The round loop capability of the multi-turn encoder cuts programming and hardware costs for machine builders. Its rotary axis function enables the number of encoded rotations to be defined as a fraction.
