Corporate marketsensingCurated record
posital.com

POSITAL-FRABA is the North American arm of the FRABA Group, designing and manufacturing absolute and incremental rotary encoders, kit encoders, inclinometers and linear position sensors for motion control. Its hollow-shaft kit encoders install directly inside robot-arm joints to provide absolute joint-angle feedback for six-axis industrial robots and collaborative robots. The encoders use magnetic/capacitive sensing with battery-free Wiegand energy-harvesting multiturn counting, giving true absolute position across power cycles. These are position-feedback sensing components in the robot actuation/joint stack, not a complete robot.
