MOTION CONTROL / AUTOMATION

We supply optical encoder discs and scales to a wide variety of industries, such as OEM encoder companies, CNC machining, semiconductor, and assembly industries. Our fastest-growing applications include automation for warehouse robotics and driverless vehicles along with precision surgical instruments. These automated or motion controlled systems make the applications they’re applied to more efficient, precise, and controlled.

MEDICAL

Optics and photonics are crucial for precise and accurate engineering in the medical field. Photonic technology helps to provide low-cost, effective ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. Optics and imaging help medical providers see what was unavailable without current technology—such as the direct imaging of bones, tissue, and organs with X-rays. These products (including optical encoder discs) are also highly sensitive and precise. Craftsmanship can often mean the difference between life and death in the medical industry. 

AEROSPACE

As technology advances, aerospace ventures are turning to optics for faster sensors, data convertors, and better overall accuracy. Plus, optical interfaces are often smaller and cheaper to produce. They also provide more security than their traditional counterparts. For industries like aerospace, having components that are low maintenance and more reliable allows for greater overall innovation.

METROLOGY

Industrial metrology refers to the precise and scientific measurement of light or distance in the manufacturing process. Optical encoder discs used in metrology help to make the measuring systems more accurate and automated. Optical metrology, in general, has been incorporated in stationary and portable measuring devices for a wide range of industries.
