SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 wire draw encoder with absolute position feedback and EtherCAT for accurate 10 m linear measurement in industrial automation.
The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 HighLine wire draw encoder is a robust absolute linear position sensor developed for accurate distance measurement over long travel ranges. It is designed to address applications where space constraints, mechanical complexity, or environmental conditions make conventional linear encoders unsuitable. By converting linear motion into precise digital position values, it provides reliable feedback for motion control systems. With high-resolution absolute measurement, industrial-grade housing, and an integrated EtherCAT interface, this model supports stable, repeatable positioning in automation systems that demand accuracy, durability, and minimal maintenance.
The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 enables continuous position tracking without the need for reference runs, ensuring faster machine startup and reduced operational downtime. Its absolute measurement principle preserves position data even during power interruptions, improving process reliability. The HighLine wire draw mechanism is engineered for long service life under dynamic motion, while the EtherCAT interface supports real-time communication in high-performance control networks. In practical use, this encoder simplifies mechanical integration, tolerates misalignment better than rigid linear sensors, and delivers dependable performance in environments involving vibration, temperature variation, or extended travel lengths.
The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 is chosen when long-distance linear position measurement must be both precise and dependable under real industrial conditions. It combines absolute position feedback with a rugged wire draw mechanism, allowing accurate measurement without complex alignment or fragile guide systems. This model excels in applications requiring fast commissioning, minimal maintenance, and stable performance over time. Its ability to deliver consistent position data after power loss makes it especially valuable in automated systems where uptime, safety, and repeatable motion control are critical to overall productivity.
The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 solves the challenge of measuring long linear movements where traditional linear encoders are impractical, costly, or unreliable. In environments with dust, vibration, temperature variation, or limited installation space, rigid measuring systems often fail or require frequent recalibration. This wire draw encoder converts linear motion into accurate digital position data while tolerating mechanical misalignment and dynamic movement. As a result, it ensures reliable position feedback, reduces downtime, and simplifies machine design in demanding industrial automation and motion control applications.

Automated gantry and portal systems often operate over several meters and require stable position feedback to avoid collisions and placement errors. The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 is effective in these systems because its wire draw mechanism measures long linear movements without the need for rigid guide rails. Absolute position sensing preserves position data after power interruptions, allowing the gantry to resume operation without time-consuming homing. High resolution supports precise load positioning, while fast data communication enables smooth coordination with motion controllers, improving repeatability, uptime, and operational safety.
Telescopic booms, lifting platforms, and mobile machinery demand accurate extension monitoring under vibration, dust, and changing temperatures. The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 provides dependable position feedback by using a durable stainless-steel measuring wire and a spring-loaded mechanism designed for dynamic motion. Absolute measurement ensures the system always knows the true boom position, even after sudden shutdowns. Its ability to track fast movements and high acceleration improves control stability, reduces mechanical stress, and enhances safety in mobile and outdoor equipment.
High-bay warehouses and automated storage systems depend on precise vertical and horizontal positioning to prevent misplacement of goods. The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 supports these systems by delivering accurate linear feedback across long travel distances. Unlike incremental solutions, absolute position data prevents cumulative errors over time. This helps maintain consistent positioning at every storage level. The sensor’s robust construction ensures reliable performance during continuous operation, contributing to higher throughput, reduced positioning faults, and improved efficiency in automated logistics environments.
Industrial presses and large assembly machines require exact stroke measurement to maintain product quality and protect tooling. The SICK BTF13-E1BM1099 is well suited for these applications because it delivers stable position data even under high acceleration and repetitive motion. Its wire draw design tolerates mechanical misalignment that can occur in heavy equipment. Absolute position feedback allows presses to restart accurately after interruptions, reducing scrap and setup time. This results in more consistent process control and improved reliability in demanding production operations.
