When considering the safest and most efficient way to record positions, speeds and travel lengths of, for example, crane booms, hydraulic cylinders or screw conveyors, Wachendorff Automation supports the user or designer with coordinated wire rope hoist systems. The wire rope hoist systems from Wachendorff Automation ensure fast and flexible mounting on the machine and offer a robust design with a high degree of protection up to IP65. Optimum rope guidance and constant rope tension over the entire measuring distance ensure accurate measurement. In combination with the incremental encoders of the WDGI series or the absolute encoders of the WDGA series, ideal resolutions, high accuracies and optimal interfaces can be realized. The new SZG140 system is designed for lengths of up to 10,200 mm.
The position of the rope outlet can be individually set via a mounting bracket. The robust design of the wire rope hoist system in conjunction with the incremental and absolute encoders from Wachendorff Automation means that the system can also be used in challenging areas, e.g. in port cranes or in transport systems in cold stores.
