FRABA joins Rockwell Automation Encompass Program Hamilton, New Jersey – FRABA Inc., a producer of advanced industrial sensor technology, announces that it has been approved as an Encompass™ Product Partner in the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork™. Through Encompass™ Product Partners, customers can quickly locate complementary products that best solve any application challenges. These products are critical components of connectivity solutions that extend and enhance Rockwell Automation installations. For more information on the Encompass™ program visit http://www.rockwellautomation.com/encompass/. FRABA’s INTACTON brand non-contact encoders use optical metrology which provides significant benefits over contact-type sensors such as rotary encoders with measuring wheels. Measurement problems, such as slippage are avoided, even when working with hot, elastic, highly sensitive, or “dough-like” materials. With two complementary types available - the high-precision COVIDIS series and the compact, cost effective OPTIPACT series - INTACTON non-contact encoders can be used for a wide range of applications. FRABA POSITAL’s inclinometers provide high resolution, highly accurate measurements of angles and inclination for many applications. One feature which makes these sensors especially suitable for integration into industrial automation systems is FRABA’s commitment to providing equipment that meets the requirements of a broad range of industry-leading communications and fieldbus standards, including the Rockwell/Allen Bradley DeviceNet™ standard. “We are very pleased to become a member of the Encompass program”, says Christian Fell, VP of FRABA Inc. “We feel that it highlights FRABA’s growing presence in the North American industrial automation marketplace.” About FRABA FRABA Inc. is the North American unit of the FRABA Group, a producer of specialized industrial sensor equipment for sophisticated automation applications.
