What started out small has by now gained considerable momentum: “Kübler India Automation Pvt.”, a 100% subsidiary of Kübler Group, Germany.
The Kübler Group is one of the leading specialists worldwide for position and motion sensors, slip rings and further transmission products as well as for counters. Kübler has now entered into a development cooperation with the Austrian company Variotech, which is regarded as a specialist for elevator electronics. Together they have developed an innovative solution for absolute shaft copying (LEB / LES).
Whatever the application, the optimal encoder must both allow easy, error-free and fast installation and have the appropriate resolution and interface. Moreover, the encoders must be particularly robust in order to operate reliably even in harsh environments.
With an impressive 31.9% of all votes, Kübler achieved 1st place for the new Sendix S36 motor feedback systems.
According to the prestigious “Wirtschaftswoche” (issue 46/2017), one of Germany´s top business magazines, the Kübler Group in Villingen-Schwenningen belongs to the 25 most innovative medium-sized companies in 2017. Kübler is one of the leading specialist worldwide for position and motion sensors, slip rings and further transmission products as well as for counters. On behalf of the “Wirtschaftswoche” the Munich Strategy Group (MSG) evaluated over 3,500 companies regarding their innovation strength.
The Kübler Group in Villingen-Schwenningen Germany has established an Engineering Solution Center in Berlin. The core objective of the new team, managed Bernhard Hiller, an experienced Engineering Manager with more than 20 years of experience in the encoder business. The new team will focus on new innovative products and customer solutions in the area of smart bearing less encoder systems, magnet rings and related products, mainly for motor applications. Customers can benefit from a high expertise in fast signal processing, FPGA-based solutions for very high encoder signal quality and a wide knowledge in Soft and Hardware expertise.
What can be done when installation space is insufficient even for a miniature encoder? The bearingless measuring systems presented here solve the problem and allow slim motor design.
More compact, more efficient, more powerful, these are the demands posed on the drive manufacturers. This entails a new challenge also for the sensors. A new motor feedback encoder product family based on a platform helps designers to save costs.
The encoders of the modular Sendix Plus range are designed for inhospitable conditions. These sensors are for example suitable for fire trucks and wind turbines. Largely dimensioned ball bearings improve the resistance to shocks and vibrations.
Intelligent sensor networks form the backbone of the IIot. Focus is set on networking at all levels. Kubler is convinced that encoders will play a key role and illustrates already today how theory turns into practice.
New standards apply since September 2017 for all passenger and cargo elevators. Focus is set on increased safety for elevator users, installers, inspection personnel and service technicians. The demands placed on the elevators industry have increased accordingly. The automation specialist Kubler is the right partner here.
Encoders can become key elements in smart decentralized drive systems. And if encoders themselves become smart, they can increase further the performance of such systems.
Newly developed slip ring generations such as the ones presented here can meet the increasing requirements for use with Industrial Ethernet and IIoT.
Modern food industry production facilities are no longer what they still were 10-15 years ago. Their degree of automation is increasing. Work processes and complete facilities are increasingly networked with each other and with the outside world.
The sensors manufacturer Kubler has been supplying for many years encoders to the major players of the elevators industry. The concept "everything from one source" led Kubler to develop a new linear measuring system for absolute shaft copying.
Slip rings have in no way served their time in the "IIoT" era - on the contrary. In the digitally networked production too, slip rings supply rotating plant elements - such as e.g. rotary indexing machines - with electrical power and transmit control signals and data, often also in combination with liquids and gases.
