As a manufacturer of precision sensing solutions since 1952, Baumer Electric offers a full line of sensor technologies to meet every automation need. Known for innovation and miniaturization, we offer photoelectric and laser sensors including fiber optics; inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic proximity sensors; my-com precision limit switches as well as an extensive line analog output distance measuring sensors. We also offer the premier family of innovative rotary encoders, encompassing both high precision optical and rugged magnetic technologies. Committed to quality and innovation, Baumer Electric employs more than 1200 people worldwide, one-third of whom are engineers dedicated to bringing you new technology and excellent support.

TR Electronic is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of rotary, linear and laser position sensors.

The company’s reputation for "state-of-the-art" design and production, based on specific customer requirements, is matched only by its proven reliability throughout a broad spectrum of industry.

TR Electronic products are already a standard in the extremely demanding automotive industry where applications support and service backup are paramount.

Whatever the application TR has a solution for your measurement problems. Often what is standard for a TR device either can not be duplicated or becomes an expensive "special" for others.

Some of the unique features of TR products include:

• Certified sub micron accuracy of absolute linear glass scales. No reference pass required on start up.
• Up to 32 bit resolution for multi-turn absolute rotary encoders.
• Multiple interfaces available including ASI, CAM, Parallel, SSI, ISI etc…
• Full support for fieldbus protocols CANbusOpen, CANbusDeviceNet, Profibus-DP Class 2, Profibus-DP-IM308, FIPIO, Interbus-S.
• Incremental encoder with software programmable output up to 131,072 steps (36,768 pulses). Can be re-programmed even after machine installation. No need to keep different fixed line encoders in inventory. One encoder suits all.
• Shaftless and hollow shaft encoders also available.
• Absolute incremental interface (ISI). TR devices with real time A Quad B output are also able to provide an absolute position on demand. Applications can be changed from incremental to absolute merely by changing the existing incremental encoder. Thousands of axes already converted. Major cost savings for users.
• Linear magnetostrictive position sensors. Versions available as direct Temposonics^® replacements. In-cylinder operation at 8,700 psi continuous pressure and up to 3 meters in stroke length.
• Laser Distance measurement completely linear up to 170 meters. Class 2 infra-red laser
• Bar Encoder Scanners for position location of AVG’s, automatic handling systems and overhead crane gantries. Range up to 10,000 meters.
• No additional cards required. All electronics are built in.
• Heavy duty versions of most products available for harsh environmental and mechanical use.
• Full applications and service support always available from TR Electronic.
