Cables that connect rotary encoder signals to a machine control system, VSD or display to provide position or speed feedback, need specific characteristics. These characteristics include noise shielding with braided screening and twisted pairs to cancel out induced noise signals caused by electrical interference in industrial settings.  

Seed planters are systemised machines found primarily in scaled agricultural crop applications. They are tasked with digging, planting, and covering seeds in large-scale farming. Seed planter machines are powered and pulled behind tractors across large paddocks, planting thousands of seeds daily.

Avtron specialises in the design and manufacture of rugged industrial encoders that are suitable to a wide range of industries and heavy-duty requirements. Avtron encoders are used in oil and gas drilling, light duty conveyors, heavy mining, cranes, marine environments, and metal production applications, to name a few.

When you spot a garbage truck making its rounds in your neighbourhood, you might not think twice about the technology behind its operations. However, hidden within the arms that lift and empty refuse bins are advanced devices known as magnetic rotary encoders.

Encoders serve as the eyes and ears of vehicle’s positioning systems, providing accurate feedback on position, speed, and orientation. POSITAL's IXARC UCD Profinet encoders utilise advanced magnetic technology, which offers several advantages over traditional optical encoders.

Acknowledged as Rockwell Technology Partners

We are thrilled to announce that POSITAL has once again been recognised as a Rockwell Technology Partner.

The existing encoder signal distributors (encoder splitters) from Motrona will be gradually phased out over the next 12 months or so.

In safety-critical applications, a motion control system must be able to trust the position feedback that it receives from encoders and other sensors.

POSITAL has updated the EtherNet/IP communications interface on their encoders to optimise data transfer, thereby reducing downtime due to transmission delays.
