The Fraba Group, supplier of industrial position sensors and Wiegand technology, can look back on a successful 2022. Highlights include the opening of a new production facility in Malaysia.

The Fraba Group, a provider of motion control and position sensor technology for industrial applications, is reporting a 23% increase in sales for the 2021 financial year.

Posital has announced new models of the 'Ixarc' encoders with a housing length of just 27 mm. This reduced length combined with a diameter of 36 mm makes the devices particularly suitable for confined spaces.

Encoder manufacturer Posital launched two start-ups, Credemus and Ubito, in summer 2021. Jörg Paulus, European Managing Director of Posital-Fraba, explains the background.

The internationally active Fraba Group has founded the new business units Credemus and Ubito. The two start-ups are positioning themselves in the 'Digital Transformation' and 'Wiegand Technology in the IIoT environment' business areas.

Posital launches miniaturized 22 mm multiturn kit encoders for small and micro drives. Until now, small and micro motors were at best equipped with single-turn or incremental encoders.

Sensor manufacturer Posital has launched the intuitive online tool 'EncoderMatch.com'. According to the provider, the web platform is a search engine, configurator and ordering tool in one and is aimed at the spare parts business.

Posital has upgraded its portfolio of 'Ixarc' encoders and 'Tiltix' inclinometers with protection class IP69K.
The current situation in robotics: Until now, two single-turn encoders working in parallel - plus gears for synchronization - have been required for speed monitoring and position control per robot arm. A new kit encoder from Posital can now do this single-handedly.
