AP 10 Position Indicator - Dazzling Prospects for More Efficiency

In addition to the direction of rotation arrows on the LCD display, the AP10 Position Indicator also provides clear visual user guidance via two two-color status LEDs. These indicate not only the positioning status (InPos or OutPos), but also show the required direction of rotation to reach the target directly. Like the previous AP04 model, the AP10 also provides loop positioning to compensate for mechanical spindle play.

The bus-capable AP10 Position Indicator is optionally available with an RS485 or a CANopen interface. The AP10 can also be integrated into different fieldbus and Ethernet networks via an additional interface converter. Particularly noteworthy are Profibus DP, Profinet IO, Ethernet / IP, EtherCAT and Powerlink.

Like all SIKO position indicators, the AP10 is also designed with a hollow shaft to make assembly to common adjustment axes a breeze. With regard to size and distance of the torque arm, attachment compatibility with the world''s best-selling SIKO counter DA09S is provided. This means it is possible to change from manual hand adjustment with a mechanical position indicator to monitored format adjustment with the AP10 without changing the machine frame. Thanks to the high IP65 protection class and a hollow shaft made of stainless steel, the AP10 is also suitable for applications in the food industry, beverage production, or for the pharmaceutical industry.
