Sick Stegmann has introduced the SinCos SEK52 servomotor feedback system which is compact, cost effective and mounts directly to motor shaft.
Compact motor feedback wire draw encoder
Sick Stegmann has introduced the XKS motor feedback wire draw encoder, which makes it possible to obtain commutation, speed regulation and position information from a single device.
President of Sick Stegmann, Scott Hewitt, said: "Small batch sizes and frequent product changes can dramatically affect the productivity levels of packaging and other processing machinery.
Traditionally, numerous adjustments need to be made to the machine before new production can begin, and equipping times can be lengthy in more complex, multi-axis machines, particularly if carried out manually".
Hiperdrive is an ideal alternative to manual hand wheel adjustments, particularly in machines with several axes.
Sick Stegmann said that Hiperdrive is not intended to be a replacement for the classical servo drives on process axes on machinery, but rather a reasonably priced alternative for automating the adjustment of auxiliary axes.
Hiperdrive consists of the following.
* A fully integrated motor, gears and an absolute measurement system.
* Performance and regulatory electronics.
* Comparatively compact housing allows simple integration into new and existing machines in, for example the packaging, metal-processing and printing, industries, among others.
An IP65 enclosure rating allows Hiperdrive to provide reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions.
* About Sick Stegmann - Sick Stegmann Incorporated is a wholly owned subsidiary of SICK AG in Waldkirch, Germany.
Sick Stegmann is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
