Encoders for Industrial Automation

Our high precision rotary encoders are designed with new Q-Core processing, enabling quick and precise positioning. The VLX and DS product lines offer low-cost OEM position sensors for automotive, medical, robotics, and industrial automation applications.

Designed and manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 standard for medical devices, our encoders provide the reliability and accuracy required by your new high-end medical device. With full resistance to magnetic fields the electric encoder is very suitable for the tight mechanical designs of servo drives and motors. The contact-less design enables accurate, fast, and controllable motion with zero particle generation.

Application Focus

  • Industrial Robots and Collaborative robots
  • Medical and Surgical Robots
  • Wafer Handling in the Semiconductor Industry

The extremely compact and low-profile design fits into the demanding design of the robotic joint. It can be used both for position feedback and for optimizing the commutation of the frameless motor while enabling passage of leads through the hollow shaft.
