Your rotary encoder has been discontinued?
Time and again, manufacturers discontinue certain product series. Especially when it comes to interfaces developed many years ago, maintenance and development capacities are transferred from traditional systems to the latest technologies. The development cycles of sensor manufacturers and users are not always synchronized, meaning that there is still a need for traditional interfaces that is no longer satisfied by the original manufacturers. It is also increasingly being observed that manufacturers organized in corporate structures are less and less prepared for the individual requirements of medium-sized specialist automation companies.
And what do you do when you are informed that an important component is no longer available? Either you change the rest of the technology, redesign the system or ask an experienced specialist for individual encoders for an alternative.
TR Electronic has always been known for supporting many industrial interfaces for position sensors. TR Electronic's in-house development expertise allows it to draw on more than 40 years of experience and integrate both state-of-the-art and classic communication systems into the latest generations of devices. The mechanical connection can be adapted to existing environments with a high degree of freedom. The manufacturing technology of the medium-sized company allows production in manageable batch sizes. Quantities that are of no interest to others can be realized economically at TR.

When integration creates new creates new possibilities:
The new EtherCAT NC expansion enables manufacturer‑neutral integration of encoTRive drives. The drive handles speed only, while EtherCAT and the controller manage positioning, allowing very fast and convenient system integration.
