Wind energy

Power generation using wind energy has become very widespread in the last two decades and is being further expanded. The future prospects of the industry are therefore still very positive. The further development of technical solutions has been accompanied by an increase in efficiency and operational reliability as well as by higher demands on sensor technology. Encoders have to meet completely different expectations today than ten years ago. TWK has accompanied these change processes from the very beginning. For example, an absolute encoder from TWK was used in the first German wind turbine, also known as Growian. Since then, TWK has been considered an important supplier to well-known companies in the wind energy sector.

Construction machinery

In the construction industry, the trend towards automation is spreading. Modern construction machines are expected to perform their tasks in the shortest possible time and at the same time with the highest precision. At all times, they should also meet the highest safety requirements. This is only made possible by the progressive automation of the machines, their electronics and control technology. To make them even more efficient, sensors are installed in the machines that reliably output a precise measured value – even under adverse environmental conditions. TWK has specialized in this niche with its extremely reliable magnetic rotary encoders, inclination sensors and displacement sensors. These are characterized by their durability, robustness and absolute reliability. The company’s product portfolio also includes safety-relevant versions.

Agricultural machinery

In the field of agricultural machinery, the degree of automation is constantly increasing. Modern agricultural machines already have automated steering systems, driver assistance or possibilities for sensor-controlled fertilization as standard equipment. In this case too, reliable, high-precision sensors form the basis for the automation of the machines. In particular, magnetic rotary encoders and tilt sensors from TWK are used. The company is a supplier to several well-known manufacturers of agricultural machinery.
