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 […]
Ready for new machinery regulation
EC type-examination certificate available for rotary SIL-encoders made by TR Electronic For many years, TR Electronic has been pursuing the strategy of making TR’s robust encoder technology available for applications that require functional safety in accordance with SIL2 / PLd or SIL3 / PLe. The innovative CD_582 series offers safe absolute encoder values via PROFInet/PROFIsafe, […]
Tradition meets state-of-the-art technology
Absolute rotary encoder with bit-parallel interface We have now become accustomed to high-tech sensors such as rotary encoders having an industrial Ethernet connection and transmitting their complex actual values (position, speed, other status information) to a (now mostly PC-based) controller via a standardized bus protocol. The times when a separate line was used for each […]
Safely on the move in the CAN network
TR Electronic supplies proven safety encoders with CANopen safety interface. Interfaces have always been the specialty of the Trossingen-based innovation company for absolute position detection. It was therefore only a matter of time (and market requirements) before the proven SIL encoders of the CD_582+FS series also became available with the CANopen Safety interface. The underlying […]
When every stitch counts
Industrial sewing machine places special demands on control and visualization system Sewing is not always about fashion and catwalks. Textiles are indispensable as surface and carrier materials in many applications. Complex seams are often necessary for aesthetic reasons. At the same time, non-textile components are sewn onto the carrier materials in order to fulfill technical […]
Further applications for safe compact encoders opened up
TR Electronic has successfully certified SIL encoder with Powerlink/openSAFETY. After the great market success of the functionally safe CD_582 encoder series from TR Electronic with the PROFINET/PROFIsafe, and Ethernet/IP with CIP Safety™ interfaces/protocols, the Trossingen-based specialist for absolute position sensing has now also been able to obtain certification for the version with Ethernet Powerlink and […]

What a few millimeters can do…
More robust linear encoders due to smaller dimensions. TR Electronic has many years of experience in the development and production of linear-absolute displacement measuring systems, which detect linear movements and positioning quickly, precisely and wear-free on the basis of magnetostriction. These systems are suitable for the toughest applications due to their fundamentally robust design. For […]
