DRS21 CoreTech incremental encoders are now available in a freely programmable version.

DRS21 CoreTech incremental encoders from Sick Stegmann are now available in a freely programmable version This unique and powerful functionality allows customers to freely program the width of the zero pulse and the number of lines from 1 to 8192

Provided in industry-standard 2in housings, the DRS21 family features opto-ASIC with chip-on-board technology for maximum reliability, and automatic light regulation for long LED life.

Square flange, servo flange and face mount versions are available, with 0.25 and 0.375in, and 10mm, solid shafts.

Customer programmability allows end users to benefit from reduced inventory requirements, immediate availability and reduced downtime.

OEMs benefit by being able to use the encoder to determine the optimum resolution for their machine, while providing immediate reprogramming of the encoder to suit specific customer needs.

Integrators and consulting engineers no longer need to inventory multiple encoders with various resolutions, and distributors can program the encoder at their location prior to shipping it to the customer.
