AFS/AFM60 SSI Absolute Encoder by SICK

The AFS/AFM60 SSI is a series of absolute encoders from SICK that uses the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface). The AFS60 is the singleturn version, while the AFM60 is the multiturn version. Depending on the model, the typical resolution is 12-bit × 12-bit (4,096 × 4,096 steps), with support for up to 18-bit singleturn × 12-bit multiturn (total 30 bits). These encoders are widely used in industrial automation systems, robotics, CNC machines, conveyor belts, and packaging lines in Vietnam.

Industrial Applications of AFS/AFM60 SSI

With high resolution (12-bit x 12-bit) and the ability to retain absolute position even after power loss, the AFS/AFM60 SSI is ideal for high-precision industrial applications:

CNC machines & industrial robots: Mounted directly on servo motor shafts, the encoder provides position feedback with ≤ 0,2° accuracy and 0,002° repeatability. No homing is required after restart so it can save production time.
Conveyors & logistics systems: Ensures precise position tracking on long conveyor lines. Works with PLC systems via SSI for automated sorting. IP67 protection ensures reliable operation in dusty and humid warehouse environments.
Packaging lines: Monitors cam positions and rotating shafts in food and pharmaceutical packaging machines. Wide voltage supply (4,5–32V) ensures compatibility with various control systems

AFS60 vs AFM60 – Which One to Choose?

Criteria	AFS60 (Singleturn)	AFM60 (Multiturn)
Position tracking	Within one revolution	Across multiple revolutions
Resolution	Up to 18 bit singleturn	18-bit x 12-bit
Position retention after power loss	No (resets to zero)	Yes (via Wiegand sensor or equivalent)
Typical applications	Valves, simple arms	Robots, CNC, long conveyors

*Note: If your application only requires angular measurement within a single rotation (e.g., valve positioning), AFS60 is a cost-effective choice. For tracking position across multiple turns (robots, elevators, CNC), AFM60 is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What applications is AFS/AFM60 SSI used for?

It is used for precise angular position measurement in industrial automation systems such as robots, CNC machines, conveyors, elevators, and packaging lines. The multiturn version (AFM60) retains position after power loss, eliminating the need for homing.
Is the AFS/AFM60 SSI waterproof?

Yes. It is rated IP65 (shaft) and IP67 (housing), offering full dust protection and resistance to water spray, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
