Smart Motion Feedback: Discover POSITAL at Automate 2026

POSITAL, a leading brand within the FRABA group, will present its latest innovations at Automate 2026. At Booth 3725, visitors can explore a comprehensive portfolio of sensor and motion feedback solutions designed to enhance performance, efficiency, and reliability in robotics, AGVs, and factory automation.

POSITAL is known for its high-precision position and motion sensors. Its portfolio includes absolute and programmable incremental rotary encoders, battery-free multiturn kit encoders, inclinometers, and draw wire sensors. Designed for seamless integration into modern automation systems, these solutions are supported by more than 20 communication interfaces, including IO-Link, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT—ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial control architectures.

POSITAL’s absolute encoders deliver high-resolution, reliable position feedback, making them ideal for demanding applications such as robotic joints, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs/AGVs), and automated production systems. A key advantage of these encoders is the integration of Wiegand technology for multiturn measurement. This battery-free energy harvesting principle enables accurate position tracking even during power loss, eliminating the need for batteries or maintenance. The result is increased system reliability, longer service life, and reduced downtime—critical factors in automated environments.



 

In addition, POSITAL’s programmable incremental encoders, based on advanced TMR technology, offer lower power consumption while maintaining high signal quality and stability. This makes them particularly well suited for energy-efficient robotic systems and compact automation equipment.

A key highlight is POSITAL’s range of compact kit encoders, including 36 mm and 20 mm multiturn versions as well as hollow shaft designs. These are ideal for tight installation spaces in motors and robotic actuators, offering easy integration and high performance. Many POSITAL encoders are also UL-certified, supporting compliance with North American safety and quality standards.

Complementing this, POSITAL’s inclinometers and linear measurement solutions provide precise motion and positioning data for mobile robots, material handling systems, and factory automation. Safety-ready solutions with redundant rotary and linear sensors support reliable operation in critical applications, while robust IP69K-rated housings ensure dependable performance even in demanding industrial environments.

With its combination of high-resolution sensing, flexible connectivity, and battery-free multiturn technology based on Wiegand principles, POSITAL continues to support customers in optimizing system performance while reducing maintenance requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you at Automate 2026. Visit us at Booth 3725 to discover our latest solutions and discuss your applications with our experts.
