Industrial Applications

1. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Steering Control

Utilizes the encoder's absolute multi-turn tracking to measure exact wheel steering angles and drive motor revolutions for precise navigation. The 10-32 VDC supply range and robust communication ensure reliable data delivery even under fluctuating mobile battery power.

Problem Solved

Prevents loss of position data during power cycles or emergency stops, eliminating the need for homing routines and ensuring seamless resumption of AGV movement.

2. Overhead Crane Hoist Positioning

Monitors the exact vertical position of the crane hook by tracking the winch drum's revolutions. The IP67-rated aluminum housing and wide -10°C to +70°C operating temperature handle dusty and unconditioned environments.

Problem Solved

Accurately maps long vertical travel distances without losing count, maximizing lifting safety and enabling automated multi-level positioning in industrial warehouses.

3. High-Speed Conveyor Synchronization

Integrates into continuous automated packaging lines, communicating via the high-speed PROFIBUS interface at up to 12 MBaud to synchronize the speed and position of interconnected sorting axes.

Problem Solved

Accommodates high mechanical stresses from continuous belt operations while preventing belt slippage errors through exact multi-turn tracking.
