Baumer launches EAM580RS functionally safe absolute encoder

The year 2024 begins with a new addition to the Baumer product family: the new safety-certified Baumer EAM580RS rugged encoder.

Developed for mobile machinery and outdoor applications, the EAM580RS significantly increases mobile machinery safety.

01. Saving installation costs

As the level of automation of mobile machinery continues to increase, so does the demand for safety solutions.

This in turn generates additional costs. Baumer's new EAM580RS absolute encoder with safety-certified components reduces installation effort and costs, which can greatly reduce the burden on customers.

02. Simplified system safety design

With the EAM580RS, Baumer is one of the first companies to fulfil the latest functional safety requirements (SIL2/PLd certification.

to IEC 61508. ISO 13849:2023 and IEC 61800-5-3).

Thanks to the safety certification, the associated documentation is significantly reduced, thus simplifying and accelerating engineering and system certification.

03. Safe, robust and precise

The EAM580RS magnetic safety encoder has been developed for outdoor applications in harsh environments and for mobile machinery (such as loading cranes, tower cranes and mobile work platforms).

The stainless steel housing provides protection against corrosive environmental conditions and media, as well as shock and vibration.

The powerful EAM580RS offers both ultra-high accuracy and ultra-fast transmission rates for significantly increased safety.

04. Providing important auxiliary data

The EAM580RS has a further advantage: it provides easy-to-use auxiliary data (information on revolutions, running time and input voltage, which can be used for purposes such as machine monitoring).

In addition, with the help of the free Baumer Sensor Suite, users can easily set up the encoder to meet a wide range of requirements.

EAM580RS: Ideal for you!

The powerful clamping flange type EAM580RS is now available and extends Baumer's encoder portfolio for safety-related applications.

It provides customers with a safe, reliable and cost-effective complete solution for mobile machine safety and will be the ideal choice for mobile machine automation technicians.
