MagRes Absolute Singleturn CAM-encoder acts as a programmable limit switch, replacing PLC or PC controllers in low-level applications. General-purpose, rotary motion device processes data and coverts them to usable switching points along its rotation. Mechanism makes it easy to program start/end points, critical change points, process speeds, and other control functions. Encoder handles rotational speeds to 1,500 rpm and is programmable using standard ProGeber software. Device is especially suited for equipment with simple, slow movements that will actuate further processes. Available with IP65 protection, it operates in temperatures to 75 °C and relative humidity to 95%. www.baumerelectric.com/usa Baumer Electric
