A successful rotary encoder solution for weaving machines and confectionery production
The WDGI 50V from Wachendorff Automation
In many industrial applications, precise speed and position data are essential for efficient and reliable processes. The incremental rotary encoder WDGI 50V from Wachendorff Automation was developed for demanding operating conditions and has proven its worth worldwide in a wide variety of machines and systems.
With its compact 50 mm design, precise magnetic scanning and resolutions of up to 16,384 pulses per revolution, the WDGI 50V is particularly well suited to applications requiring reliable speed and motion detection.
Precise motion control in weaving machines
In the textile industry, precisely coordinated sequences of movements play a crucial role in product quality and production output. In weaving machines in particular, speeds, positions and material movements must be continuously monitored and precisely coordinated.
Thanks to its magnetic scanning and high signal quality, the WDGI 50V delivers reliable measurements even at high production speeds. Its compact design allows for easy integration into existing machine set-ups and supports a stable production process with consistently high quality.
Reliable sensor technology for confectionery production
In the confectionery industry too – for example, in the manufacture of chocolate – precise information on movement and rotational speed is essential for conveying, production and packaging processes.
The WDGI 50V is used in various machine applications to measure rotational speeds and movements and has proven itself to be a robust and durable solution in these settings. The encoder operates without coming into direct contact with the food, thereby supporting reliable process control and high plant availability. Its robust industrial design and precise signal processing help to ensure stable and efficient production processes.
Successful across a range of industries
The textile industry and confectionery production place very different demands on machinery and equipment. The successful use of the WDGI 50V in both sectors demonstrates just how versatile and adaptable modern encoder technology can be today.
