New Encoder Innovations for 2007
 
 
New VFS60 incremental encoder - The perfect match for AC Induction motors
Setting new benchmarks for encoder performance, the new VFS60 incremental encoder is the ideal feedback encoder for use with AC Induction motors.

With a new pick-up system utilising a metal code disc and a large separation between the electrically isolated ball bearings, users of the VFS60 incremental encoder are guaranteed a long operating life, highly accurate positioning and minimal speed ripple.

HIPERDRIVE HUB - Reduces the cost of size change by 30%
A reduction in average batch sizes and the requirement to document production processes – particularly for pharmaceutical products – has led an increasing number of machine manufacturers to look into the implementation of automatic size change systems on their machines. The high cost associated with traditional approaches has been prohibitive. Now the HIPERDRIVE HUB offers a practical means of lowering the cost and making automatic size change more affordable.

Groundbreaking absolute encoder with minute disc
The new SKS/M36 Standalone absolute encoder utilises SICK|Stegmann's unique MiniDisc technology to offer users unrivalled levels of performance. At its heart is a code disc with a track radius of only 2mm - a tenth of the size of the disc used in encoders of a comparable accuracy. MiniDisc technology enables the production of not only a much smaller encoder but also an encoder capable of withstanding higher levels of shock and vibration.

New KH53 advanced offers wider mounting tolerances and reliable absolute positioning over up to 548m
The new KH53 advanced linear absolute encoder offers increased mounting flexibility compared with other technologies and previous versions. With a nominal separation of 55mm with a tolerance of ±20mm the KH53 advanced can be used to accurately position any rail mounted vehicle - even on older installations with worn wheels or bent rails.
