The TRK38 from TWK is a singleturn magnetic encoder that was developed with safety-oriented applications in mind.

TWK has a safety encoder for explosion protection in accordance with ATEX, Zone 1/21. The new generation of encoders with Profinet interface (also with Profisafe profile) is also suitable for Zone 1 (gas) and 21 (dust).

With the TRK38, TWK presents a singleturn magnetic encoder developed with a focus on safety-related applications. With a diameter of just 38 mm and a length of 38 mm, the sensor is suitable for installation in confined spaces.

Posital launches miniaturized 22 mm multiturn kit encoders for small and micro drives. Until now, small and micro motors were at best equipped with single-turn or incremental encoders.
Posic is expanding its product range with the IT5602C, a rotary encoder as an SMD component measuring 8 mm x 10 mm x 0.8 mm.
With the Safeone DN3PD2 speed monitor, Dina Elektronik simplifies sensorless speed monitoring. According to the manufacturer, installation and maintenance are simple.

Sensor manufacturer Posital has launched the intuitive online tool 'EncoderMatch.com'. According to the provider, the web platform is a search engine, configurator and ordering tool in one and is aimed at the spare parts business.
The load and signals in the robot arm are generally transmitted via cables. However, this is accompanied by a restriction in mobility. A shortcoming that a slip ring helps to overcome.
Manufacturing processes in the food industry are very complex and require intelligence in the machine. The example of a belt-synchronized cutting system shows what an automation system for the production of Maultaschen can look like.
