Electronic position indicator AP20S

Absolute linear adjustments, integrated Industrial Ethernet interface

open expert video
Absolute position display with communication interface for linear or slide adjustment intuitively guides the operator to the correct machine setting when changing products or changing formats. Readability is optimized for intuitive user prompting: The backlit display clearly shows the setpoint and actual value, and the two LEDs clearly indicate the direction in which the adjustment must be mad.

Profile AP20S:

  • Electronic position indicator with plug connection for magnetic sensor
  • Integrated Industrial-Ethernet-Fieldbus
  • Backlit two-row LCD
  • Display of target and actual value displays with integrated alignment

  • Display accuracy up to 0.01 mm
  • Absolute function via internal backup
  • Robust sensor technology unit thanks to magnetic scanning
  • User guidance through status LEDs
  • IP53 protection class, IP65 as an option
  • Industry 4.0 ready
