BKS/PKS wire-draw encoders:
SICK-STEGMANN has supplemented its programme for position and path determination with the BKS absolute wire-draw encoder and the PKS incremental wire-draw encoder. Both devices offer an extremely compact and robust aluminium housing, and are available for measurement lengths of 2m and 5m. A highly accurate measurement drum within the encoders and the high resolution of 0.05 mm provide extremely precise and reproducible measurement results. The interfaces of the wire-draw encoders – SSI for the BKS absolute system and TTL for the incremental encoder – meet the demands of industrial automation technology.
The compact wire-draw encoders were specially developed for applications in which mounting space is limited, a robust complete unit is necessary, and short to medium measurement lengths are the rule. With dimensions of 90 x 90 x 90 mm?, the robust housing and the stable steel-wire return spring, as well as the 2m and 5m measurement length variants, the BKS and PKS wire-draw encoders meet these demands. Typical areas of use of these devices are presses, stamping and spraying machines, timber and metal processing machines, apparatus construction or medical technology.BTF and PRF – when the paths are long
The "large" BTF and PRF wire-draw encoders from SICK-STEGMANN offer tailor-made opportunities for precise path measurement and position determination for large measurement distances of up to 50m and in particularly harsh operating environments. Elevating platforms; platform lifts; horizontal platforms in the automotive industry; construction machines; cranes; high-bay warehouses; theatre stages; as well as locks and weir systems, are typical areas of use.Why path measurement with wire-draw?
Wire-draw encoders are used wherever positions require determination or paths must be measured but because of, for example, jointed or hinged mechanisms, the measurement paths pass around a corner. In these situations, the integrated wire-draw mechanism allows the determination of exact position and path data even without precise linear guidance. For this purpose, the integrated encoder determines the number of rotations of the wire-draw drum and converts it to a measurement signal proportional to length. This then provides high-resolution position or path information on the linear distance measured.
