The particularly compact, robust and high-resolution encoder series Sendix F36 is now also available with CANopen® interface.

Kübler presents the first optical multiturn encoder without gears and with 100 percent magnetic insensitivity.
With a diameter of only 36 mm, the absolute multiturn and singleturn variants offer a hollow shaft diameter of up to 10 mm.
The Sendix F36 is the first optical multiturn encoder without gear that is also totally insensitive to magnetic fields.

Patented Smart Scan Technology™, where all singleturn and multiturn capabilities have been combined on one OptoASIC. This ensures the highest reliability, a high resolution of up to 41 bits and 100-percent magnetic insensitivity.

Encoder - an integral part of a security chain - are just as safe as the entire Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
Thereby it's safe to say, the more intelligent the combination of interaction between encoder, actuator and control function within the chain is, the more secure is the entire system.

Kuebler offers expert solutions for exactly the applications in which security is the most important. We measure ourselves against the requirements of our customers and make a significant contribution to the concept of safe automation solutions. This has been impressively demonstrated on the last Kübler Customer Forum on the theme "Security and Automation".
