    SICK announces the launch of the AFS60 and AFM60 absolute encoders with Industrial Ethernet. These dual-port Industrial Ethernet encoders provide EtherNet/IP, PROFINET RT, and EtherCAT connectivity.

    The single-turn AFS60 and the multiturn AFM60 feature an embedded switch functionality that reduces external switching components and re-routes data when cable breaks in the network are detected. The AFS60 and AFM60 have superior diagnostic functions, including temperature and acceleration monitoring, and a durable metal code disc that is resistant to shock and high temperatures. 

    These absolute encoders also include a customizable resolution for customer-specific applications using resolution scaling or endless shaft functionality. With an IP67/65 protection rating, the AFS60 and AFM60 can be used in a variety of applications that require precise and reliable position accuracy with EtherNet/IP network connectivity.

    A high degree of accuracy and repeatability make these encoders ideal for motion control, robotics, AGV, packaging, and general manufacturing applications. Face mount, servo flange, and blind hollow housings are available.
