SICK BTF13-N1BM1099 HighLine wire draw encoder with PROFINET delivers absolute linear position feedback up to 10 m for industrial automation systems.
The SICK BTF13-N1BM1099 HighLine wire draw encoder is an industrial-grade solution for accurate linear position measurement over long travel distances of up to 10 meters. It is engineered to address applications where precise, repeatable positioning is required but space or mounting conditions limit the use of traditional linear encoders. By integrating a robust wire draw mechanism with an absolute encoder and PROFINET communication, this model delivers continuous position data immediately after power-up, supporting high machine availability and reliable motion control in automated systems.
The SICK BTF13-N1BM1099 HighLine wire draw encoder converts linear movement into high-resolution absolute position values, enabling stable and drift-free feedback even during fast motion and frequent cycles. Its PROFINET interface allows direct integration into modern PLC environments for diagnostics and real-time monitoring. The durable housing, stainless steel measuring wire, and long mechanical lifetime make it suitable for harsh industrial conditions. In real-world use, this results in improved positioning accuracy, reduced setup time, lower maintenance effort, and consistent performance across logistics equipment, material handling systems, and heavy-duty machinery.
The SICK BTF13-N1BM1099 is chosen when applications demand absolute, long-range linear position feedback without compromise. It combines high mechanical robustness with precise digital communication, making it ideal for modern automation systems that cannot tolerate drift, recalibration delays, or unreliable signals. Its wire draw design allows accurate measurement over long distances in compact spaces, while the integrated absolute encoder ensures immediate position availability after power loss. This model is especially valuable for engineers seeking durability, accuracy, and seamless integration into PROFINET-based control architectures.
The SICK BTF13-N1BM1099 solves the challenge of reliably measuring long linear movements in environments where traditional linear encoders are impractical, fragile, or space-constrained. It eliminates cumulative errors and homing procedures by providing true absolute position data at all times. In real machines, this prevents positioning inaccuracies after power interruptions, reduces commissioning time, and minimizes mechanical wear. As a result, system uptime improves, maintenance costs decrease, and motion control remains stable even under high speeds, vibrations, and continuous industrial operation.

In telescopic cranes and lifting platforms, precise knowledge of boom extension is essential for stability control and load calculation. The BTF13-N1BM1099 is installed within the boom assembly to continuously measure extension length across long travel distances. Its absolute position capability ensures the control system always knows the exact boom position, even after power interruptions or emergency stops. The high mechanical durability of the wire draw mechanism supports frequent extension cycles under vibration. This improves operational safety, reduces recalibration time, and supports accurate load management in demanding outdoor and construction environments.
Automated warehouses rely on accurate positioning to move goods quickly and safely. In ASRS installations, the BTF13-N1BM1099 is used to monitor lift height or shuttle travel over several meters. The encoder delivers stable absolute position data, allowing precise stopping at storage locations without repeated homing routines. High resolution improves placement accuracy, reducing mechanical impact on racks and carriers. Continuous feedback supports smoother motion profiles, while fast system restart after downtime helps maintain high throughput in logistics operations running around the clock.
Metal processing machines often require position measurement over long strokes in harsh conditions. The BTF13-N1BM1099 is applied to large linear axes that move cutting heads, rollers, or tooling assemblies. Its robust housing and stainless steel measuring wire withstand dust, vibration, and temperature variation. Accurate position feedback at high speeds enables better motion synchronization and process stability. This results in improved machining accuracy, reduced material waste, and more predictable production performance in steel, aluminum, and heavy fabrication environments.
Large automated doors and gates must move smoothly while stopping at exact positions to ensure safety and reliability. The BTF13-N1BM1099 is mounted along the door travel path to provide continuous position monitoring. The wire draw design allows flexible installation without complex mechanical guides. Absolute position feedback prevents incorrect door positioning after power loss, improving safety for personnel and equipment. Long service life and consistent measurement reduce maintenance effort, making it suitable for factories, logistics centers, and transportation facilities with frequent door operation.
