The latest generation of SIKO programmable electronic indicators is a consistent further development of the versatile mechanical digital position indicators and handwheels and also ensures outstanding performance in buscontrolled applications. The mechanical control knobs are a special feature, combining miniaturized handwheel technology with the gear unit assisted, mechanical digital indicators in orange. Mechanical digital position indicators Position values on shafts and spindles can be simply and clearly controlled with the original SIKO counters. High mechanical precision and fully developed details combined with easy readability and a long service life have put these orange counters at the forefront of this technology market. Extremely simple installation and retrofitting is one of the decisive advantages of the SIKO position indicators. The displayed value can be adapted to the required spindle pitch with an integrated gear unit. Electronic displays LCD displays Absolute, battery-buffered Programmable parameters Resolutions up to 0.001 mm RS 485 bus interface Electronic digital position indicators Electronic position indicators have additional advantages over mechanical indicators for automation applications. With this functional principle, the axis motion is tracked either magnetically or capacitively and then evaluated. The spindle pitch, direction of rotation and decimal point can be freely programmed. As they are battery-powered, they can also be used as absolute indicators. Depending on the version, the position values are communicated to a computer or controller through an interface for further processing. Mechanical displays Hollow shaft diameters ranging from 6–35 mm Maximum digit height 7 mm Mechanical detent/lock Selectable design (reading position) Plastic or metal housing 4
