Today’s robots are far more versatile than traditional heavy-duty industrial models, evolving into small, mobile, intelligent machines capable of operating indoors and outdoors. At Wesense, we recognize that each application—and often, different requirements within the same application—demand unique solutions. Our Optical and Magnetic encoders offer an optimal balance of price and performance, packaged in compact designs. Whether it’s On Axis or Off Axis miniature encoders, we provide the perfect fit for your technical and commercial needs.

Position Control: For precise robotic end effector positioning, absolute encoders are essential. Wesense offers high-accuracy Non-Contact magnetic encoders with various ring diameters and mechanical mounting options, compatible with standard absolute protocols (SSI/BISS). Our encoders stand out in the market for delivering high resolution and accuracy at competitive prices. The compact size of our AKS16 encoder enables its use in tight spaces, eliminating the need for specialized hardware or software.

Speed Control: Accurate speed control is crucial for autonomous robots navigating environments where collisions may occur. Our miniature optical incremental encoders are ideal for such applications, combining small package sizes with high performance to optimize system design without compromising on specifications.

Commutation: In energy-efficient robotic applications, particularly those relying on batteries, brushless DC motors are increasingly preferred. Our On Axis WSV20 incremental + commutation encoder integrates commutation functionality with high-resolution encoder capabilities in a compact footprint. This integration ensures precise control between encoder output and motor commutation, enhancing reliability and efficiency.
