Rotary encoders for robotics: The key to success

Robust and compact rotary encoders with high functional safety
enhance the design, assembly, and reliable operation of robots.

How rotary encoders meet design and assembly challenges

Robots need to be increasingly fast, precise, compact, and cost-effective for a growing range of applications. Rotary encoders play a critical role in robot design and production. They must be matched to the given space, cabling, sensors, precision, and tolerances.
Installation should be efficient. Find out what to consider.
