Technology in detail
Incremental
Incremental measuring systems determine the actual position or the distance covered by counting pulses using a suitable controller. With a magnetic length measuring system, the pole changes on the magnetic tape are evaluated and intermediate values are interpolated.
Absolute
Absolute measuring systems determine each position using a unique code pattern. Unlike an incremental system, an absolute measuring system does not require a reference run. In the event of a power failure, the current position is available immediately after power is restored.
Solar power industry
Solar plants are an important part of our infrastructure and relevant to ensure that the switch to renewable energy is successful. The measurement systems used to control the mirrors used in these systems must be able to withstand the most diverse and harsh environmental conditions. Magnetic measuring systems from Kübler are both compact and extremely robust. For example, they are perfectly suited for use in CSP parabolic trough plants. An index pulse available on the magnetic tape allows quick referencing of the position after a failure or maintenance work. The aim is to obtain the maximum amount of solar energy at any time of day and convert it into electrical energy. Due to the contactless technology, the measuring system is 100% maintenance-free and therefore extremely durable.
