Your rotary encoder has been discontinued?
Replacement encoder for existing applications as an OEM development. Time and again, manufacturers discontinue certain product series. Especially when it comes to interfaces developed many years ago, maintenance and development capacities are transferred from traditional systems to the latest technologies. The development cycles of sensor manufacturers and users are not always synchronized, meaning that there […]
What Are Absolute Encoders and Incremental Encoders? Differences and Applications
Encoders used in industrial automation systems precisely measure and control machine movements. The two most common encoder types, absolute encoders and incremental encoders, are designed to meet different needs. In this article, we will explore what these two encoder types are, their differences, and where they are used. What is an Absolute Encoder? An […]
What is a Safety Encoder?
A safety encoder is a type of encoder designed to meet safety requirements, certified according to functional safety standards such as SIL (Safety Integrity Level) or PL (Performance Level). They are especially used to enhance both system and operator safety in hazardous environments or high-risk operations. How Does It Work? Similar to traditional encoders, […]
What is an Encoder? What is Its Purpose? Key Points for Selection
Encoders are essential components in industrial automation, frequently used in systems requiring precise measurement and control. In this article, we explore what encoders are, how they work, and key considerations for selecting the right encoder for your application. What is an Encoder? An encoder is a sensor that converts mechanical motion into electrical signals. These […]
Tough as nails
TR Electronic increases permissible vibration and shock load for standard encoders At TR Electronic, we love our encoders. That’s why we naturally want to protect them from loads that would ultimately lead to failure or even destruction. And this is also very much in the interests of users who want to be able to rely […]
Rotary encoder certified for FSoE
TR Electronic completes development of encoders with FailSafe over EtherCAT. With the 75 mm safety encoder, TR Electronic was the first manufacturer to offer the safe version of the innovative EtherCAT bus system for absolute encoders for SIL3 applications. Now that certification has been successfully completed by the ETG in cooperation with TÜV Süd, FailSafe […]
The time to retrofit is now!
Anti-cyclical investment in retrofitting presses. Modernizing existing presses while retaining most of the machine’s functionality is known as a retrofit. The machine itself is retained, but the control technology is usually revised or replaced. This fulfills new safety standards and increases flexibility and throughput. Acyclical investment in press retrofits provides companies with a strategic opportunity […]
Many plugs, little installation space?
Remote interface box offers interface variety even for ultra-compact 36 mm encoders. In standard applications, interface cables are routed directly to the encoder. For encoders with Industrial Ethernet and an additional direct interface, this can be up to four cables (network with forwarding, power supply, etc.). If space is very tight at the installation site, […]
Safe environment for safe encoders
Heavy-duty protective housing with convenient field cabling Particularly harsh environmental conditions have always been popular areas of application for rotary encoders from TR Electronic. Reinforced bearings and additional housing layers make the encoder almost impervious to external mechanical influences. At the same time, preassembled cables, especially with M12 connectors, are becoming increasingly popular. What is […]
