In the dynamic machinery manufacturing and industrial automation sector, having a partner that offers a wide, reliable and cost-effective range of positioning sensors is key to success. At Álava Ingenieros we count on OPKON, a leading manufacturer whose strength lies in its immense catalog of solutions for displacement measurement and motion control, designed specifically for the needs of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
OPKON’s value proposition focuses on offering the right technology for each automation task, always ensuring easy integration and robust performance in production environments.
- Linear Position Measurement: OPKON’s portfolio ranges from classic and durable linear potentiometers, ideal for position measurement in presses or injection molding machines, to flexible draw-wire sensors, perfect for long-travel applications in logistics or large machinery. In addition, they offer non-contact magnetostrictive sensors, which provide extremely high durability and accuracy, even when installed inside hydraulic cylinders.
- Rotational Motion and Speed ControlOPKON’s range of encoders is equally extensive. They offer optical rotary encoders for applications demanding high resolution and accuracy, as well as magnetic encoders, which are extremely robust against vibration, dust and humidity. Available in incremental (for speed control and relative positioning) and absolute (to know the exact position even after a reset) versions, they cover all motor feedback and angular positioning needs.
OPKON understands the priorities of machine builders. Its products are not only reliable and designed to withstand the day-to-day demands of a manufacturing environment, but also offer an excellent performance-to-cost ratio. This enables OEMs to integrate high-quality measurement technology into their machines in a competitive manner. Their variety of standard outputs (analog, SSI, CANopen) ensures smooth and direct communication with leading PLCs and control systems on the market.
With the backing and technical support of Alava Ingenieros, the OPKON range represents the intelligent and efficient solution to solve any positioning need in your next automation project.
