     Many applications are designed to be as small and compact as possible, within the limits of their intended use. This   conserves   material resources as well as energy and manufacturing costs. Each   component   should take up as little space as possible  , given   its function. For this reason, we have expanded our line of   bearingless   encoders to include the world’s first   s  afety-  K  it   E  ncoders with the Ethernet interfaces Safety over   EtherCAT   (  FSoE  ) and   PROFIsafe   over PROFINET    .&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp;   
 
 
    These new functionally safe devices  , with   a depth of just 25 mm and SIL2 /   PLd   certification, meet the growing demand for   short or flat   encoders  .   In most applications, there is   little space   between   rotating   parts and   other   mechanical component  s   or boundar  ies  . The encoder must fit into this small gap.   T  his   particularly   applies to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).   AGVs   are   often required to   be small, agile, and cost-effective. Our  &amp;nbsp;  bearingless   Kit Encoders enter a market segment where devices with shafts and associated bearings are too large or long, and hollow-shaft encoders are unsuitable.   &amp;nbsp;   
 
 
    We u  se  &amp;nbsp;the magnetic measurement principle, which   eliminates   the need for   a fixed mechanical connection between the magnet and the sensor   itself, thereby allowing   for sealed housings made of aluminum, non-magnetic stainless steel, or plastic for the sensor and electronics. This enables a high protection rating of up to IP69K.   The magnet itself is separate   and also   exhibits high resistance to adverse environmental conditions.   Thanks to its special U-shaped design   or, alternatively, through special magnetization in the case of the round magnet  , i  t   can achieve   high accuracy values of up to 0.  1  % / 360° at a resolution of 16 bits  . This is   maint  ained   even when   the magnet is   positioned   several millimeters away from the sensor.   Depending   on the required accuracy,   magnetic position tolerances apply   regarding   the magnet&#039;s distance, eccentricity, and tilt.   The safety   firmware detects   the presence or absence of   the magnet (“Magnet-Off Detection”). This is an important criterion for the   system’s   functional safety.   Depending on the shaft and magnet design, the magnet can be mounted by screwing it onto the shaft or rotating part of the application or by gluing it in place. The encoder is then mounted directly in front of the magnet using a suitable mounting bracket to save space.   &amp;nbsp;   
 
 
   Despite the particularly compact design of the housing, which is only 25 mm thick and has a base diameter of 42 mm, the encoder models with   FSoE   or   PROFIsafe   interfaces are equipped with all functions as well as LEDs that display the operating status at all times and, in the event of a fault, the error code for service purposes. Electrical   connection is   made via three M8 connectors. The   CANopen   Safety variant with cable   connection requires even less space, with a housing thickness   ra  n  ging from   12 to 20 mm depending on the model.   All versions output position and speed via the respective safety protocol. Upon request, they can be equipped with an electronic multiturn counter that reliably   records the number of revolutions at all times  .   However,   this is   not   possible   when the system is powered off. Like their larger counterparts with a shaft and   associated   bearings,   these encoders offer versatile parameterization options to adapt to specific applications  .

   From 24 to 26 March 2026, we will be welcoming visitors to booth 8A24 at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. We will be showcasing its customized, reliable solutions for intralogistics automation, particularly for use with automated guided vehicles (AGVs).   
  AGVs are now a key component of efficient material flows. To ensure they operate reliably and safely, they require precise sensor technology that can withstand even the most demanding conditions. We offer robust, certified rotary encoders with a compact design for this purpose. They meet the highest safety requirements such as SIL2/SIL3 and PLd/PLe in accordance with IEC 61508 and ISO 13849 1. The portfolio also includes explosion-proof devices (ATEX/IECEx), UL®-certified sensors, and ASIL D-compliant products in accordance with ISO 26262.  
  A special highlight at the trade fair is the Safety Ring Encoder: it combines two central functions in one device. On the one hand, it provides highly dynamic position and speed detection via BISS-C, SSI, SIN/COS, and other interfaces for motor feedback control. On the other hand, it enables additional functionally safe data transmission via PROFIsafe, FSoE, or CANopen Safety. Thanks to its inductive measuring principle, inner diameters from 25 to 200 mm, and high interference resistance, it can be flexibly integrated into different drive variants – as a housing or circuit board version. The resolution is 22 bits at speeds of up to 30,000 rpm.   
  We also present the compact Safety Kit Encoder with external magnet. Its shaftless design and housing depth of only 20 mm make it ideal for tight installation spaces and retrofitting existing drives. The position magnet is mounted directly on the application side and operates contactlessly with respect to the sensor housing. With a resolution of 16 bits/360°, up to 32,768 revolutions can be recorded electronically. A parameterizable speed signal also allows precise determination of rotational speeds.  
  Both sensor highlights comply with SIL2/PLd and, thanks to their robust design, high shock and vibration resistance, and uncomplicated integration, are ideal components for safety-critical applications in logistics.  
  These highlights are complemented by a compact, cost-efficient cable pull sensor with integrated SIL2 encoder, which reliably transmits cable position and speed via CANopen Safety. It offers measuring ranges of up to 8 meters with 16-bit resolution.  
  In addition, there are proven magnetic encoders with a compact design of 38 and 42 mm and a resolution of up to 16 bits.  
  Also included is a SIL2/PLd-certified, dynamic 3-axis inclination sensor with gyroscope and Kalman filter, which delivers precise inclination values via CANopen Safety or SAE J1939. It also outputs safe rotation rates and accelerations and can be flexibly adapted to the application using filter parameters.  
  Finally, there is the SIL3/PLe-certified incremental encoder with solid or continuous hollow shaft, which can generate up to 2500 SIN/COS or square-wave pulses per revolution for safe motor feedback systems.   
  Our comprehensive safety portfolio offers interfaces such as CANopen Safety, PROFIsafe, or Failsafe over EtherCAT and combines maximum reliability with economic efficiency. Visit us from March 24 to 26, 2026, at booth 8A24 and receive individual advice on your application.

   You might wonder whether there is any difference at all. There is. In the functional safety sensor technology industry, sensors are often labeled “Safety.” These are sensors that convert mechanical measurements into electrical data. However, this does not necessarily reflect our understanding of safety. Our safety sensors meet very high requirements and standards, so we can rightly speak of “true safety.”   
  Therefore, it is advisable to take a close look at the safety sensors to ensure that we are using the right ones. First, let us consider the important standards that are the primary focus of this article. The first is IEC 61508, which covers the functional safety of electronic systems with SIL (Safety Integrity Level) classification. The second is ISO 13849, which covers the safety of machinery and safety-related parts of control systems with PL (Performance Level) classification. The higher the classification, the greater the reliability and the lower the probability of a fault not being detected by the component that could cause a hazard. Many of our sensors have a SIL2 and a PLd classification. Some even have SIL3 or PLe. It is important that this safety level is confirmed by an official body. That is why we have our safety sensors thoroughly tested and certified by TÜV according to one or both of these standards, as required. Sometimes other standards are added, such as ISO 26262 with ASIL D level.  
  In order to achieve these safety levels, many design requirements must be implemented. It is also important not only to just meet the classification level (e.g., SIL2), but to have a good buffer, as the sensor is usually a component in a transmission chain, and the entire chain must meet a certain level. What measures do we take to achieve this goal?  
  Firstly, the mechanical movement must be detected reliably and without slipping. This requires a form-fitting connection between the sensor and the moving application. Our rotary encoders offer a wide variety of shaft types to facilitate this, including solid shafts with a fitting or disc spring and hollow shafts with a groove. This prevents any twisting going unnoticed. However, for this reason, each sensor must also be firmly connected to the application by the customer.  
  Let&#039;s take a look inside: Our sensor technology is always designed to be redundant. The signals from the dual sensors are then compared in the controller, which contains all the necessary firmware and software for signal processing and output (plausibility check). Only if the deviation is below a threshold value is the signal - e.g., the shaft position of sensor 1 of a rotary encoder - output as a reliable value via the interface, which is usually a bus interface. The firmware in the controller is designed so that all internal processes – reading data, calculating, transmitting and storing intermediate values, etc. – are secured with CRC checksums. Additional testing and control processes, known as double checks, enable functionally safe operation. For instance, the limit value relays in the SIL2 cam switches and vibration sensors are continuously checked to ensure they are in the correct switching state. SIL3 goes even further: the signal-processing controllers are designed with redundancy.  
  The hardware is also subjected to control procedures: Are all supply voltages within the target range? Are the RAM and ROM memory areas working correctly? Are the output drivers online?  
  The next step is to transfer the resulting data, i.e., angle and speed data or acceleration and inclination data. This transfer is also performed twice. Either via standard and inverted bit patterns immediately one after the other (e.g., with CANopen Safety) or with additional CRC safety data (e.g., F data with PROFIsafe). Parameterization data for the sensor is always secured with a checksum. This type of transmission ensures that the safe measured value determined by the sensor also arrives safely in the controller. ‘Safe’ means that the probability of an undetected error is very low, as approved according to the SIL/PL classification. This means that the risk posed by the system or machine is very small, but cannot be eliminated entirely.  
  However, it is not only the finished sensor that is subject to strict rules in order to meet safety criteria, but the entire development process as well. Before and during the development of a new safety product, all requirements that must be met are determined. To ensure functionality, all associated test procedures - the test cases - are also formulated. This can involve several thousand individual processes in order to capture all characteristics. Only this meticulous approach leads to a safe result.  
  The aim of all measures is therefore always to prevent malfunctions and, if a malfunction does occur, to detect it as quickly as possible. If incorrect behavior is detected, the sensor immediately switches to a fail-safe state. This means that an error is sent to the control system (status bit) and the sensor stops transmitting data. All safety relays (if present) open. The safety controller responds by transferring the system or parts of it to a safe state in order to prevent damage.  
   As an established family business, we began designing safe sensors a long time ago,  &amp;nbsp;    and our experience and know-how in this area has rightly earned us a strong market position. That is why we continue to do what we do best: developing and producing functionally safe sensors – true safety.

                 &amp;nbsp; In November 2025, we will present our latest sensor solutions alongside its tried-and-tested sensors for angle, displacement, and inclination measurement at two of the most important trade fairs. Visit us at AGRITECHNICA from 9 to 15 November at stand D18 in hall 17, or at Smart Production Solutions (SPS) from 25 to 27 November at stand 342 in hall 7A, to see our innovations for mobile and industrial automation machines.  
   Our focus is on functional safety devices that comply with IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1, offering SIL2 and SIL3 or PLd and PLe levels. Fully redundant rotary encoders with two independent systems are another solution for meeting the safety requirements of machine and plant manufacturers. These safety solutions form the core of TWK&#039;s business, and it is in this context that the new, versatile ring encoder has been developed. Based on an inductive measurement principle, the device is ideal for mounting on drive shafts with diameters of up to 150 mm and for routing cables or placing contact units in slip ring assemblies.

  What makes it special is that it has two independent interfaces. On one hand, there is a very fast interface for transmitting position and speed data for motor feedback control via BISS-C, SSI, SIN/COS, etc., and on the other hand, there is an additional functionally safe interface for transmitting safe data to a safety PLC via PROFIsafe, FSoE or CANopen Safety. The rotor and stator can be used as electronic circuit boards or housed in sturdy aluminium or stainless steel housings with an outer diameter of up to 220 mm. It has a resolution of up to 22 bits and is resilient to magnetic interference fields and harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for use in drive-by-wire applications.  
  Another highlight is the new model of cable pull sensor, which provides safe but also inexpensive length measurement. This compact, easy-to-use sensor is a bespoke solution with an integrated SIL2 safety encoder that outputs the position and speed of the cable via CANopen Safety. Thanks to the encoder&#039;s 14-bit resolution (16 bits available on request), the selectable measuring range of 1.5 to 8 metres is displayed in increments of 0.1 to 0.39 mm or better. This robust sensor is ideally suited to mobile applications.

  The same applies to the highly compact SIL2/PLd kit encoder, which features a CANopen Safety interface. Due to its magnetic measuring principle, the magnet is positioned in front of the encoder within the application. This enables the encoder to be integrated into even the smallest spaces for the safe output of position (16-bit/360°) and speed.  
  One striking feature is the high-resolution rotary encoder with a continuous hollow shaft. Housed in robust aluminium or stainless steel with a diameter of 60 mm, it offers 23-bit resolution and an accuracy of ±145 µrad (±30 arcsec). Thanks to its extremely short latency of less than 1 µs, it boasts very low jitter in the position signal, which can be transmitted via BiSS-C or SSI. It is ideal for use in automation technology, medical technology and robotics.  
  For applications requiring particularly high levels of functional safety, SIL3/PLe-certified encoders are available in various designs (solid or hollow shaft) and sizes (58 mm or 90 mm diameter). Alternatively, there is a SIL3 encoder with a CANopen Safety interface from the compact and proven 42 mm family, offering 16-bit resolution. There is also a fully redundant single-turn encoder with a CANopen Safety interface. Its two independent SIL2 systems are built into a housing measuring less than 35 mm in diameter and length.

  The trade fair “Smart Production Solutions” (SPS), based on the event of the same name in Nuremberg, is opening its doors for the first time in Atlanta. From September 16th to 18th, the focus will be on electric drive systems, machines and sensors as part of intelligent and digital automation products and services. At booth 949 we will, together with our US partner Encoder Products Company (EPC), present pioneering sensor solutions for the rotary encoder and inclination sensor markets. We will also be present at RoboBusiness (booth 700) in Santa Clara from October 15th to 16th to show innovative solutions for industrial automation and robotics.  
  We invite you to see the ring encoder for yourself, one of its many highlights. This functionally safe rotary encoder (SIL2/PLd) has a wide range of applications. As the name suggests, it can be used as a hollow shaft encoder with a free inner diameter of up to 150 mm, allowing it to be placed on correspondingly large drive shafts. It can also be used as an encoder in slip ring assemblies where the inner diameter is used for cable routing or contact body placement.  
  What sets it apart is its two independent interfaces: a safety interface and a particularly fast standard interface. Safe data is supplied to the safety PLC via PROFIsafe over PROFINET, Safety over EtherCAT or CANopen Safety, while a fast motor feedback system is operated via the SSI or BiSS-C interface. This unique, compact design saves space and implementation costs.  
  The ring encoder is based on an inductive measurement principle and comprises a rotor and stator, which can be connected via a plug or cable. It can be used on an electronic circuit board or in a robust aluminium or stainless steel housing with an outer diameter of up to 220 mm, offering a resolution of up to 22 bits. Thanks to its high resistance to shock and vibration, the rotary encoder is ideal for use in harsh operating conditions. With protection classes up to IP69K and positional accuracy of up to 17 bits, the ring encoder is ideal for precise position and speed detection in many industrial applications.  
  Another new product is the NBN45-G/S3 dynamic inclination sensor. This three-axis MEMS-based sensor is equipped with an additional gyroscope which, using the implemented Kalman filter algorithm, filters out interference accelerations and outputs a precise, functionally safe inclination angle via CANopen Safety or SAE J1939. The SIL2/PLd-certified, highly compact sensor can be ideally adapted to the respective application thanks to adjustable filter parameters. Additionally, the rotation rate and acceleration can be output for three axes.  
  Alongside the above features, we are renowned for our highly compact functional safety encoders. These include SIL2/PLd-certified multiturn encoders with a diameter of only 42 mm and various safety interfaces, or SIL3/PLe-certified multiturn encoders with a diameter of only 42 mm and various safety interfaces. Another example is a fully redundant singleturn encoder with a CANopen Safety interface. Two independent SIL2 systems can be housed in a unit measuring less than 35 mm in diameter and length.  
  Our extensive range of safety sensors, which feature all standard industrial interfaces, combines high reliability with cost-effectiveness. Thanks to their special mechanical and electronic properties, they offer significant advantages for safety-related applications in the industrial sector.

  From March 11 to 13, 2025, LogiMAT in Stuttgart will open its doors. At booth 8C76, sensor specialist We will present innovative sensor solutions, including those for automated guided vehicles (AGVs).  
  AGVs are considered as a central component of modern intralogistics where processes are becoming more and more automated. The efficiency of AGVs depends largely on precise and reliable sensors. We  offer SIL-certified encoders in a compact design that are characterized by high robustness, accuracy and functional safety. They meet the highest safety standards, such as SIL2 / SIL3 and PLd / PLe in accordance with IEC 61508  resp.  ISO 13849-1. EX-protected devices (ATEX / IECEx), UL®-certified sensors and ASIL-D-compliant solutions in accordance with ISO 26262 can also be found in the safety specialist&#039;s product portfolio.    
  One of our highlights is the RING encoder, which fulfills two important requirements in a single device: On one hand, very fast data acquisition of position and speed and their output via BISS-C, SSI, SIN/COS, etc. for motor feedback control. On the other hand, additional functionally safe data transmission via PROFIsafe, FSoE or CANopen Safety. &amp;nbsp;  With its diameter of 50 mm to 150 mm and its inductive measuring principle, the device is ideal for mounting on various drive shafts. The RING encoder offers a resolution of 22 bits and is resilient to magnetic interference fields.  
  Another highlight at the trade fair is the compact Safety KIT encoder with external magnet, which enables space-saving and flexible mounting on rotating drives. It has no shaft bearing and is equipped with a CANopen safety interface and electronic multiturn detection for 32,768 revolutions. With a housing depth of just 20 mm, it is ideal for integration into existing systems - e.g. on motors. The position magnet is fixed on the moving application side and placed opposite the encoder housing without a mechanical connection. The resolution is 16 bits with an accuracy of ±0.2 %/360°. Also, these sensors   can  be used to precisely measure speeds, as they have a parameterizable speed signal.   
  Both highlight products meet the SIL2/PLd safety standards. Their robust design with high shock and vibration resistance as well as their simple integration into existing systems make them ideal solutions for demanding applications.   
  These new products are complemented by established and proven devices in the field of functional safety: the magnetic rotary encoders in the compact 38 and 42 mm design with resolutions of up to 16 bits. In addition, there are the high-resolution encoders up to 22 bits with an excellent accuracy of ±10 arcsec or the SIL3/PLe-CAT4 incremental encoders, which are available as solid or hollow shaft devices - also with a stainless steel housing. Equally interesting and indispensable for high-rack forklift trucks are the new wire rope hoists in compact design with measuring lengths of up to 5 meters. Finally, the new dynamic inclination sensors round off the sensor technology required for intralogistics. They provide safe and reliable inclination values - even in the event of disruptive acceleration caused by vibrations, cornering or changes in speed.  
  Our wide range of safety sensors with all common industrial interfaces such as CANopen Safety, PROFIsafe, IO-Link or Failsafe over EtherCAT combine high reliability with cost-effectiveness and offer strong advantages for safety-related applications in logistics thanks to their special mechanical and electronic properties. Come to Stuttgart from March 11 to 13, 2025 at stand 8C76 and get individual advice.  
  Visit us from March 11 to 13, 2025, in Stuttgart at booth 8C76 and receive personalized advice.

  As a leading provider of state-of-the-art sensor solutions, we will be taking part in SPS 2024, the international trade fair for industrial automation. This year, we will be presenting our latest KIT encoder and a space-saving ring encoder. Both encoder product lines are characterised by a compact design and SIL2 certification and are ideal for numerous industrial applications.    A particular highlight is the KIT encoder with its compact design with an external magnet and high precision. With up to 65,536 steps per revolution and robust IP66/IP69K protection, this sensor is ideal for applications where space is very limited. SIL2 certification ensures safe integration in safety-critical applications. Several safety bus interfaces, such as CANopen Safety, are available. We also will show our ring encoder. This encoder has a hollow shaft with a diameter of up to 150 mm and is based on an inductive measuring principle. It has a resolution of up to 22 bits per revolution. Thanks to its high resistance to shock and vibration, this encoder is suited ideally to harsh operating conditions. With protection ratings up to IP69K and outstanding accuracy, the ring encoder is also suited terrificly for precise position and speed measurement in a variety of industries.    Thanks to their space-saving design, robustness and SIL2 safety certification, KIT encoders and ring encoders are ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. In mobile machinery, such as cranes and excavators, the compact design enables integration in confined machine spaces. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) benefit from the precise motion control and safety functions of the encoders, ensuring accurate navigation and safe load handling in busy industrial environments. In agricultural machinery, the rugged design of the encoders enables reliable operation even in harsh field conditions where the technology is regularly exposed to external influences. The construction industry, which relies heavily on durable and accurate sensor technology, can also benefit from the encoders&#039; compact design and SIL2 certification, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of machinery on construction sites.     With a clear focus on innovation and functional safety, we develop customised solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. Our strength lies in developing solutions tailored to the requirements of the application. By working closely with our customers, we create specific answers to the individual challenges of their machine applications. Not without cause we have more than 60 years of experience as a leading supplier of high-precision and safe sensor solutions.    Visit us at SPS 2024 in Hall 7A, Booth 342 to experience the next generation of functionally safe sensors that combine compact design, safety and precision in one powerful package.

                  WindEnergy Hamburg, the world&#039;s leading trade fair for the wind energy industry, offers a unique platform for discovering the latest developments and innovations. We are a key player in the competition for new sensors for the wind industry, particularly in the area of functional safety up to SIL3 / PLe. These sensors significantly increase the efficiency of wind power generation by providing accurate data and multiple functions in a single device.  
  As an innovative medium-sized company specializing in safety sensors, we look forward to welcoming you to this year&#039;s WindEnergy in Hamburg. The event will take place from September 24-27, 2024, in Hall B6, Booth 560. There is a lot to see. Since the mid-1980s, we have been a leading developer of compact sensors for the wind industry, integrating functions that previously required several larger devices. At WindEnergy, we will present our innovative technologies to an international trade audience and make new contacts. Visitors are invited to experience the products and solutions firsthand.  
  The family of cam switches has grown impressively. These compact and certified devices offer safe SIL2 or PLd switching contacts and interfaces such as CANopen Safety, IO-Link, SSI and analog. A PROFIsafe version is coming soon. UL® and ATEX approvals are available. Combined with our backlash-free target wheel, these units can accurately detect the position and adjustment speed of rotor blades or the nacelle, triggering safety contacts if limits are exceeded. This mechanism breaks the safety chain to prevent damage such as cable breakage and can also measure rotor speed. Our newly designed rotor hub sensor is also available for rotor speed measurement. Equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope, this sensor is mounted in the rotating hub without a fixed shaft connection and provides precise and reliable position and speed data via PROFIsafe. It is SIL2 and PLd certified. The latest generation of low-noise gyroscopes enhances the device&#039;s accuracy, while specially designed digital filters ensure that interference from oscillations and vibrations does not affect the speed signal.  
  The PLd-certified vibration sensors, designed to monitor tower, nacelle and gearbox vibrations, can be customized. Precisely tailored filter parameters can be programmed and simulated to match the specific conditions of the wind turbine. The processed vibration data is transmitted to the controller via PROFIsafe. The CANopen safety version allows many features to be parameterized by the customer, with two safety switching outputs that shut down when limit values are exceeded. These values can be defined as instantaneous, RMS or peak with selectable time constants. Additional analog outputs are available.  
  A special form of the vibration sensor includes a LoRaWan interface. Due to its low power consumption, it can operate on a battery and send processed data to a base station via radio at short intervals. This is particularly useful for monitoring wind turbines during construction, when no power grid is available, to ensure they are not exposed to excessive vibration or oscillation from strong winds.  
  In addition to these specialized wind power products, we also offer safety encoders with all common industrial interfaces, including pulse output. These encoders are SIL2/PLd or SIL3/PLe certified and available with UL® and ATEX approvals. They can measure positions and speeds for azimuth and pitch with high accuracy using the target wheel mentioned above.  
  All solutions are characterized by their robustness and longevity, making them ideal for extreme conditions at sea, thanks to resistant stainless steel housings, which can also be magnetically shielded on request. We are happy to work with our customers to develop special solutions.

  As a pioneer in the development and manufacture of high-precision safety sensors, we are taking part in this year&#039;s Automate Show, which takes place from 6 to 9 May. The show, which is organised in Chicago, Illinois, offers us an exceptional platform to present the latest solutions in safety sensor technology to a global audience of experts.  
  At a time when automation is increasing in all areas of industry, safety has top priority. We contribute to safe automation with advanced sensor technologies. Our product portfolio includes encoders, inclinometers and vibration sensors that have been specially developed to meet the requirements of modern automation and production technology. The term &quot;safety&quot; is associated with various requirements that must be met. This includes certifications such as SIL2 / SIL3 and PLd / PLe level according to IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1 or devices with EX protection Zone 1 and 2 according to ATEX / IECEx. Besides, devices with UL® approval according to UL 61010-1, those with ASIL-D according to ISO 26262 and others with E1 approval from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority are available. The safety sensors are also extremely compact and lightweight, with a diameter of just 38 mm for single-turn versions and 42 mm for multi-turn versions.  
  We are excellent in providing flexible and customizable sensor solutions that can be integrated easily into a wide range of system architectures. With interfaces such as PROFIsafe via PROFINET, Failsafe over EtherCAT (FSoE), CANopen Safety or incremental options, they offer a wide range of configuration options to meet the specific needs of our customers and develop customized solutions. Additional interfaces can also be implemented and offered on request, including J1939 Safety, BISS Safety or LoRaWAN. With speeds of up to 15,000 rpm and a position resolution of 16 bits / 360° as well as a speed signal of 16 bits and degrees of protection up to IP69K, the sometimes fully redundant encoders are used, for example, in the steering angle and speed detection of a drive system. They are attached directly to the wheel of driverless transport systems, for example, or to the motor with a reduction gear. For the latter, the special SIL2 slewing ring function is available for multiturn encoders if required. Housing materials of aluminium, stainless steel 1.4404 or magnetically shielded stainless steel ensure maximum environmental resistance and operational safety.  
  The portfolio also includes draw-wire sensors that are connected directly to a rotary encoder, ideal for measuring lifting processes at forks or booms. These sensors can convert vertical movements into rotary ones, and, depending on the type, measure up to 30 metres. To prevent vehicles from tipping over, inclination sensors certified to SIL2 / PLd have been added to the portfolio. These are also equipped with gyroscope sensors and can supply not only the corrected tilt angle but also speed data and raw values from six axes via PROFIsafe or CANopen Safety. Accelerometer data are particularly useful for condition monitoring of the vehicles (e.g. by detecting vibrations) or for use in control tasks. Some of these devices can also be equipped with safety switches to monitor limit values, and thus safety during operation is increased.  
  At the Automate Show, we can be found at booth 3786 in the South Building. Our team of experts will be on hand to discuss individual requirements and demonstrate how safety sensors can help achieve safety and efficiency goals.

   Functionally safe sensors are the main business of us since years.   To expand the customer base,   we are exhibiting at several trade fairs this year. These include MODEX 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) from 11 to 14 March (Booth A13611) and LogiMAT 2024 in Stuttgart (Germany) from 19 to 21 March (Booth 3F30). The American exhibition MODEX in particular will be a debut for the safety encoder specialist from the Rhineland.    
   In the logistics sector, the sensors used must offer a high degree of functional safety in a particularly small and lightweight design. The mobile vehicles used drive independently from A to B, picking up and putting down objects and reacting to unforeseen obstacles.   They are also small and manoeuvrable and are not allowed to expose people and their surroundings to danger at any time. This is why all eyes are on the wide range of certified sensors that we manufacture almost exclusively in its own development and production facilities: Rotary encoders, inclination and vibration sensors. The term &#039;safety&#039; covers a range of different properties. In addition to the functionally safe sensors with SIL2 / SIL3 and PLd / PLe levels according to IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1, there are also devices with EX protection Zone 1 and 2 according to ATEX / IECEx or with UL® approval according to UL 61010-1. Not forgetting the ASIL-D compliant devices according to ISO 26262 and those with E1 approval from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.    
  With a diameter of just 38 mm for single-turn encoders and 42 mm for multi-turn encoders, these safety sensors are extremely compact and lightweight. They are available with all the common industrial interfaces used in the safety sector: PROFIsafe via PROFINET, Failsafe over EtherCAT (FSoE), CANopen Safety and - brand new - incremental. Other interfaces can be implemented and offered on request – such as J1939 Safety, BISS Safety or LoRaWAN. The SIL / PL certified or fully redundant encoders can process speeds of up to 15,000 rpm and offer a typical position resolution of 16 bits / 360° as well as a speed signal of 16 bits with degrees of protection up to IP69K. A typical application is the steering angle and speed detection of a drive system. The miniature encoders can be placed directly on the wheels of automated guided vehicles, for example, or on the motor with a reduction gearbox. For the latter, a special SIL2 slewing ring function is available for multiturn encoders if required. The housing material aluminium, stainless steel 1.4404 or magnetically shielded stainless steel ensures maximum environmental resistance and operational safety.    
    The newly designed, cost-effective TKN55 Safety SIL2-KIT encoder without shaft bearing with CANopen safety interface and electronic multiturn detection has a housing depth of just 20 mm and is ideal for integration into existing systems - e.g. on motors. The position magnet is fixed on the moving application side and placed opposite the encoder housing without any mechanical connection. The speed signal is configurable. The ASIL-D-compliant TxSN42 rotary encoder with SIL3 certification and CANopen safety interface, which is available as a singleturn or multiturn, offers an even higher level of safety.    A wide range of flange, shaft, plug and cable connections make this compact unit easy to implement.   
  Draw-wire sensors with an attached rotary encoder are also available for measuring a fork or boom stroke. They convert the linear stroke into a rotary movement and, depending on the model, can measure lengths of up to 30 metres. And to prevent a vehicle from tilting, SIL2 / PLd-certified inclination sensors are available for detecting vehicle inclination. Equipped with a gyroscope, they provide the dynamically corrected tilt angle as well as a speed signal and the raw values of 6 axes via PROFIsafe or CANopen Safety. The raw signals, especially those from the accelerometer, can be used simultaneously for condition monitoring of the vehicle (oscillations and vibrations) and for control purposes. Some of the devices can be equipped with safety switching contacts for safe limit value monitoring and guarantee safe driving at all times.

  Autonomous vehicles are no longer a rarity in agriculture – e. g. tractors or cultivators. In addition to the actual task of tilling the soil, these machines employ modern sensor technology. The sensors must meet a particularly high level of safety. TWK offers the agricultural sector compact, robust components with a high degree of protection and a variety of interfaces - SIL2 and SIL3 certified, including incremental.  
  Agricultural machines known as “precision farming” are highly technical products. Cultivation and harvesting processes can now be much more precise, efficient, and cost-effective than in the past. They also become more environmentally friendly and conserve resources, because the substances used are applied more precisely and in smaller doses. Losses are minimised. This requires a whole bundle of reliable sensors, which TWK has in its portfolio: for the positional alignment of tools or for speed measurement. This is robust sensor technology with a high IP protection rating of up to IP69K and high EMC resistance to meet the requirements in the field of any work process and suitable for any weather.  
  In addition, autonomous agricultural technology is increasingly being used, even in smaller vehicles for automated field maintenance - keyword field robots. With the digitalisation of agriculture as part of Industry 4.0, a high degree of functional safety in accordance with the IEC61508 and ISO13849 standards is important. TWK has developed a range of compact and robust encoders for this area. A wide range of interfaces and designs make it possible to find the right rotary and linear encoder or inclination sensor: PROFIsafe, Safety over EtherCAT or CANopen Safety in designs from 38 mm diameter. Because TWK takes its customers&#039; needs seriously, additional requirements and interfaces can be quickly implemented and offered - these include J1939 Safety or LoRaWAN.  
  A few examples: For detection of the steering angle in a steer-by-wire system, compact encoders are available in 38- or 42-mm diameter, depending on whether singleturn or multiturn is required. They can be mounted in virtually any position. Where axial space is limited, the 30 mm housing depth version can be used. Even more compact is the new low-cost SIL2 safety encoder without shaft bearing, with CANopen safety interface and electronic multiturn detection. With a depth of only 20 mm, it is ideal for integration into existing systems. The actuating magnet is fixed to the moving application side and positioned opposite the encoder housing with no mechanical connection. These sensors can also be used for precise speed detection as they have a configurable speed signal.  
  For a smooth operation, it is usually necessary to keep the vehicle level, especially on uneven ground. TWK&#039;s MEMS-based tilt sensors provide dynamic measurement and output an accurate tilt angle even in the presence of shock and vibration. A related device, the vibration sensor, can trigger an alarm via its digital output signal or a safety relay in the event of excessive vibration.  
  The units are available SIL2- or SIL3- and also PLd-certified or fully redundant. They can be supplied in aluminum or stainless steel 1.4404 housings. Other ratings such as UL® and ATEX or ASIL D are available. A wide range of flange and shaft styles, as well as optional plug or cable connections, ensure precise integration.

   TWK will be exhibiting its new safety sensor range at the SPS in Nuremberg. The compact encoders and inclinometers will be on show from 14 to 16 November in Hall 7A I Stand 603. Their small size makes them ideal for autonomous vehicles in both the logistics and agricultural sectors. With SIL2 or SIL3 certification, the robust sensors meet the required safety standards.   
  Certified safety sensors in a small form factor are in demand, especially in the field of autonomous vehicles. With safe position and speed data, they can move quickly to their target positions and carry out work processes. In addition to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are also interesting for logistics. Their flexible navigation without the need for lanes, routes specifications and other infrastructure makes them more adaptable to the current situation. These autonomous vehicles are also increasingly being used in the digitalized and automated agricultural sector. While logistics mainly involves transporting goods from one place to another, agricultural machinery must be able to carry out field work - such as spreading fertilizer or harvesting crops - in an environmentally friendly, resource-saving, efficient and cost-effective manner.  
  In all those cases, a high-performance sensor system is important to ensure that the steering angle, wheel speed and position of any mounted tools are always reliably available. TWK offers a wide range of rugged safety sensors with high IP protection up to IP69K and high EMC resistance to meet requirements even in harsh environments. The encoders and inclinometers are available with all common industrial interfaces: PROFIsafe, Failsafe over EtherCAT or CANopen Safety. Other interfaces such as J1939 Safety, IO-Link and many more are available on request.  
  In terms of mechanical design, TWK has focused on small size and versatility of the encoders. Versions with a diameter of 38 mm or a housing depth of 30 mm, with a variety of flange and shaft shapes, allow to install the devices in virtually any location: directly on the wheel, on the steering or on the engine. For the latter, units are available in magnetically shielded steel or stainless-steel housing for undistorted detection of position and speed. Versions with the proven multiturn gearbox are available from 42 mm diameter.  
  A highlight at the show will be the newly designed low-cost SIL2 safety encoder without shaft bearing and with a CANopen safety interface: a &#039;disc&#039; with a depth of just 20mm, where the actuating magnet is fixed on the application side and faces the encoder housing without any mechanical connection - ideal for space-saving integration into existing systems.  
  In addition, special slew ring software can be selected to reliably convert the position of the motor/sensor shaft into the position of the wheels (steering angle) when a reduction gear is used - even when turning an arbitrary distance in one direction, thus traversing the measurement range completely and several times. Certified to IEC61508 and ISO13849 SIL2 or SIL3 and PLd standards, the encoders can handle speeds up to 15,000 rpm and offer a typical position resolution of 16 bits/360°.  
   An additional safety aspect is vehicle tilt. TWK offers safety tilt sensors with PROFIsafe and CANopen safety interfaces.   &amp;nbsp;   In addition to the 360° dynamically-corrected angle signal, these provide a speed signal and raw values. Aluminum or stainless steel 1.4404 housings are available in versions up to IP69K.
