POSITAL's NEXTGEN Initiative

Takes Sensor Technology to New Heights

POSITAL launches a major update to its product portfolio. With this initiative, termed NEXTGEN, POSITAL is introducing new measurement and signal processing technologies for IXARC rotary encoders, and TILTIX inclinometers. These upgrades will benefit customers by improving performance, reducing size and energy consumption and harmonizing programming interfaces over POSITAL’s full product range. Chips in these products are being upgraded, including an exciting new ASIC that has been developed for the Wiegand-powered event counter in multiturn encoders.

New Generation of IXARC Industrial Encoders

Absolute Rotary Encoder

In the new generation of IXARC encoders, sensitive TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) magnetic sensors are used to measure the rotation of the permanent magnet attached to the device’s shaft. These replace the Hall-effect sensors used in earlier designs. We introduce a new ASIC to manage rotation counting and energy harvesting in multiturn encoders. This new component offers improved energy efficiency compared to its predecessor and will take Wiegand Multiturn technology to a new level. Our industrial encoders will also include a new Wiegand Sensor from UBITO, POSITAL’s sister company. This new sensor is manufactured in-house with a fully automated process which has a positive impact on both cost and quality.

Superior sensitivity to magnetic field changes
Increased precision and accuracy
Cost saving, improve quality

Incremental Encoder

POSITAL's new generation incremental encoders boast advanced magnetic sensor tech and energy-efficient microcontrollers. Compatible with older models, they minimize power usage, a crucial factor in intricate systems with multiple connected devices. These innovative IXARC encoders employ TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) sensing technology, surpassing Hall-effect sensors in magnetic sensitivity and enabling enhanced resolution. Additionally, TMR sensors are less affected by temperature and consume less energy than their predecessors.
