SICK|Stegmann Programmable Encoder
SICK

SICK|Stegmann presents the new User-Programmable Incremental Encoder

Hollow Shaft Encoder

Gone are the days when a choice must be made between unwieldy spare parts stocking or long lead-times on critical encoders. The new DRS 61 incremental encoders from SICK|Stegmann can be programmed for any code resolution from 1 to 8,192 pulses per revolution using the available programming kit. Now only a few spare parts can fulfill the requirements of hundreds of jobs!

Solid Shaft Encoder

The DRS 61 is only the first in a new series of programmable encoders from SICK|Stegmann. Identical to the DRS 60 incremental encoder in form factor, the DRS 61 is available in solid shaft and hollow shaft models, with a variety of power and connection options. Programming is accomplished using an optional programming kit that includes software and a USB programming cable. The program allows the user to set the code resolution to any number between 1 and 8,192, and to switch the width of the zero pulse between 90 and 180 degrees.
