This case study focuses on a micromouse – a small autonomous robot which runs through a designated maze. There are several annual international contests for students and robot enthusiasts challenging them to improve the intelligence and speed of their robots. Robot mice are advanced, custom built devices that are built to milimeters and grams precisely, reach speeds above 3 m/s and are able to solve the maze in just 5 to 7 seconds.

RLS magnetic encoders are used because of their miniature and lightweight design and their top performance in accuracy and high speed feedback.

The partnership with Renishaw and RLS has allowed  TQ-RoboDrive to expand its product offering to include servomotors with the highest torque densities available  for the robotics market. Customers benefit from improved communication between TQ-RoboDrive and its suppliers  as this results in faster problem resolution, better technical support and better customer service.

Collaborative robots are becoming a fast growing trend in today's smart factory automation. UR multi-axis collaborative robots employ the AksIM series magnetic rotary absolute encoder which offers outstanding performance, system safety and stability. 

RLS announces the launch of high performance miniature encoder sensors for embedded OEM motion control applications. With their miniature and lightweight design they are perfect for medical applications, optics positioning, robot control, 3D printers, gimbals and hand held devices.

RLS with its associate company Renishaw announce the availability of the new AksIM true absolute magnetic rotary encoder for embedded OEM motion control applications. With up to 20 bit resolution and zero hysteresis in a unique through-bore configuration, AksIM sets a new standard for magnetic encoder performance and value.

Traditional optical encoders are essential components in motion control systems. However, for
reliable operation it is necessary to protect them from harsh environments. This limits the diversity
of applications where encoders can be deployed and can add substantial cost – until now.

Developed by RLS d.o.o., a new line of high-performance magnetic encoders provide many of the
features of optical encoders but without increased robustness.

The OnAxis™ commutation magnetic rotary encoder range is designed for use in motor feedback applications requiring both A, B, Z incremental and U, V, W commutation signals.

RoLin™ is a component level encoder system consisting of an RLM readhead and MS magnetic scale or MR ring. It has been designed for embedded motion control applications as a position control loop feedback element.

The actuator is a periodically magnetised scale or ring with a pole length (P) of 2 mm. Radial or axial reading of the ring is possible.
