The magnetic encoders TRE/TBE from TWK-ELEKTRONIK will be extended by the features 16 Bit in the singletour part and regarding redundancy of the SSI output signal. In the version of a multi-turn encoder TRE, the number of revolutions (12 bits) is also recorded. The position value is available as an absolute value in the standard version.
In order to follow the tradition, another round of rotary encoder experts from SPS-Magazin took place in 2020 at the TeDo publishing house in Marburg, moderated by Dr. Johann Pohany. At the beginning of 2020, seven encoder manufacturers were interviewed on the subject of heavy-duty encoders. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH was represented by Ulf Stark, head of the technical office.
The TBN/TRN-S4 Series has been awarded SIL2 certification by TÜV, thus meeting the requirements for use in safety-related applications. TWK's proven safety series of magnetic encoders is expanded with the TBN/TRN-S4 series, which features increased resolution in the single-turn range (model TBN) and a variety of different applications. The resolution of the sensor system can be up to 16-bits. The detection of the multiturn part, i.e. the number of revolutions (max.12-bit), is done by an absolute multiturn gear (model TRN). This model series is an all-round talent. It covers the entire spectrum, from large and robust to miniature versions, which can be used in areas that do not require extremely high standards for environmental influences and must be cost-effective.
Due to the corona pandemic, companies worldwide must find a solution to maintain business operations in this difficult situation and to protect employees, customers and suppliers from infection. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH has taken various measures to ensure this:
The family of inclination sensors has now been extended by a special device. With this new design it is possible to measure the current alignment - i.e. the inclination or position (360°) - and at the same time exactly the speed in a rotating application.
This year we can proudly report that we will be supporting a junior team. Within the scope of the youth initiative, we will be sponsoring the 2nd M16 basketball team of SC Rist Wedel for the next 3 years.
Long-term product availability makes buying replacements for older products easier.
To make it even easier for customers from France to find each other, TWK is launching the French version of its website this November.
At this year's SPS in Nuremberg, TWK will be presenting its extensive portfolio of high-quality sensors for use in wind energy, construction and agricultural machines in hall 4A at stand 111.
The model NBT/S3 PROFIsafe inclinometer from TWK-ELEKTRONIK has now been certified by TÜV according to the EN61508 and ISO13849 standards.
If the safety standard is not used, special solutions can be found in the safety sector.
On 19th June 2019, Jens Begemann will be speaking at Wedel University of Applied Sciences (called Wedel UAS in the following) about the topic of "Sensor development at TWK in Wedel – from the idea to the finished product. A short journey through the development process of a sensor system."
