The right spin BST International GmbH specialises in system solutions for the web-processing industry and is at work anywhere where the production of long webs has to be rolled off, rolled up and laid precisely on top of one another in several layers at the highest processing speed. Absolute value encoders with CANopen interfaces from Wachendorff are used to ensure precise alignment. Using the patented EnDra® Multiturn Technology, you can identify and save your position even in the event of a power cut. And that with no batteries and no maintenance. Whether it be packaging film, printed material...

MflCHENDORFF Automation GmbH & Co. KG data, we would have to re-align everything first,” explains Lothar Weigel. “These adjustments would cause unnecessary delays to the machine‘s operation. The only way to be safe is to use backed up encoders.“ Previously, these encoders had to be regularly serviced as the battery would run out at some point. “Our systems use six or more rotary encoders, and are in use globally for 10 to 20 years. The servicing cost for replacing the batteries alone would be highly uneconomical," says Weigel. For that reason, BST set about finding a battery-less solution, and...

Image 5 Six encoders are needed for this BST solution. Each web has a pair of sensors which record the position and communicate it via the CANopen interface.
