Response to inquiry about customization of SICK encoders for discontinued replacement models

In recent years, more inquiries about the replacement of Sick encoders, especially in the last two years, sick discontinued models asked more. This year began to consultsick discontinuance substitutionThe model number's are more centralized, so here's a unified response.

For some of the early years of the use of SICK encoders, there is now a model discontinued, and do not want to replace other encoders. This situation can only be used to customize the encoder alternative, with the original encoder parameters to re-customize the production of direct use. This requirement to know the original encoder model or parameters, do not understand the parameters of the photo product nameplate.

Recently, more inquiries are pull-wire encoders, as well as the 60 series of absolute encoders. Many of these models have been discontinued by sick, and people still use the original parameters. Only have to use customized. Especially pull-wire displacement encoder, mainly due to the discontinuation of the encoder part of the whole group of pull-wire encoders are discontinued.

There are some things to keep in mind when commissioning a customized replacement process. In the commissioning process there are end customers to commission their own, there are specialized docking technology, which are better communication. There is also a part of the equipment supplier, the encoder does not know enough, and customer communication barriers exist. This situation should be given to the customer to explain the discontinuation of production, the need to replace. In the case of informed consent of the customer and then order.

with respect tosick discontinuance substitutionThat's all there is to the response. It takes a certain amount of lead time in the customization process to communicate that to the customer. Because of this type of customization alternative we are not stocked, we help to customize it if needed, we usually do not stock it.
