Electronic position indicator AP20

Absolute spindle adjustments, integrated Industrial Ethernet interface
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP20
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP20
The AP20 position indicator with Industrial Ethernet interface intuitively guides the operator to the correct machine setting when changing products or changing formats. The backlit display shows setpoint and actual values precisely. Two LEDs clearly show the machine operator the direction in which the adjustment must be made. With the AP20 position display, faulty machine settings can thus be avoided in the future, making flexible production machines completely process-reliable.
  • Integrated Industrial-Ethernet-Fieldbus
  • Backlit two-row LCD
  • Display of target and actual value displays with integrated alignment
  • Stainless-steel hollow shaft ø20 mm, up to ø25.4 mm as an option
  • Robust sensor technology unit thanks to magnetic scanning
  • User guidance through status LEDs
  • Mechanically compatible with the DA09S and AP10 position indicators
  • IP53 protection class, IP65 as an option
  • Industry 4.0 ready

Industry 4.0

In most cases, data exchange with the position indicators is limited to the exchange of process data. In addition to the process data, intelligent displays provide additional information that can be evaluated for condition monitoring up to predictive maintenance:
