Wachendorff Automation is expanding its portfolio of absolute encoders in the WDGA series with variants featuring an IO-Link interface. This makes integration into modern automation environments even easier, more efficient, and more future-proof.
The new IO-Link encoders are based on proven EnDra® technology – a maintenance-free multiturn principle without gears or batteries. They offer high resolution of up to 16 bits (singleturn) and 43 bits (multiturn) and are equipped with the fast IO-Link COM3 interface. The devices are ideal for use in packaging machines or roll-to-roll processes.
Technical highlights:
• Smart Sensor Profile (SSP) for easy integration
• Integrated status monitoring (temperature, voltage)
• LED status display for operating states and errors
• Parameterization via IO-Link master possible
• Resolution: up to 16 bits (singleturn), 43 bits (multiturn)
• Protection class: IP65, IP67, IP69K (depending on type)
• Compatible with standard IO-Link masters and unshielded cables
• 64-bit profile available for particularly demanding applications
Application example: Packaging machines
Precise absolute positioning is crucial in applications such as packaging machines. Wachendorff's IO-Link encoders not only provide accurate position data, but also enable quick adaptation to changing packaging parameters – ideal for short cycle times and high flexibility. Integrated condition monitoring helps to minimize downtime and increase machine availability.
