Technology
Our patented optical sensing platform redefines what an encoder can do — breaking through the speed-resolution-size triangle that constrains conventional solutions.
A fundamentally new encoding principle that captures absolute position in two dimensions simultaneously — enabling capabilities impossible with conventional 1D approaches.
A general-purpose encoder system-on-chip that can be configured in firmware, much like an image sensor paired with a processor — adaptable to a wide range of sensing scenarios.
Nanometre-class repeatability and sub-micron accuracy across multiple axes, achieved at very high sampling rates for real-time closed-loop control.
Redundancy, error detection and correction are inherent to the 2D code structure, enabling the highest safety integrity levels even under harsh operating conditions.
The sensing method tolerates massive obstruction of the code pattern — oil, dust, scratches and ageing are absorbed without degradation of output quality.
The same core technology extends from rotary encoders to linear, 3D and 6-DOF applications, using a variety of optical configurations — shadow, reflective, transmissive and more.
