How RLS Magnetic Encoders are Revolutionising the Electric Motor Industry

How RLS Magnetic Encoders are Revolutionising the Electric Motor Industry

A reliable encoder is essential for any electric vehicle because it tells the controller which position the motor is in. Without an encoder, driving would not be smooth, and it would be very difficult to start the motorcycle.

Project MARCH races to build advanced exoskeleton for people with a spinal cord injury

Project MARCH races to build advanced exoskeleton for people with a spinal cord injury

Worldwide, between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury every year. A spinal cord injury (SCI) typically causes paralysis in either the lower extremities (paraplegia) or throughout the body (quadriplegia). People with a spinal cord injury often use a wheelchair as an assistive devi...

Magnetic encoders contribute to reliable wafer transfer robots

Magnetic encoders contribute to reliable wafer transfer robots

A wafer ultimately becomes multiple IC-units in a series of complicated processes, where wafers rely on a wafer transfer robot to perform fast and accurate transfers between process stations. Wafers are valuable and break easily, meaning that stability and reliability are critical for the robot's ef...

RLS magnetic encoders enable Marsi Bionics to build life-changing exoskeletons

RLS, a Renishaw associate company, has been chosen by Marsi Bionics to supply the latest in magnetic encoder technology for the creation of two new products: the ATLAS 2030 exoskeleton for children and the MB-Active Knee (MAK) single-joint exoskeleton for adults.

RLS encoders go under the 3DHISTECH microscope

RLS encoders go under the 3DHISTECH microscope

Located in Budapest, Hungary, 3DHISTECH designs and manufactures one of the world’s fastest and highest-capacity autonomous panoramic digital slide scanner – the P1000.

We support student STEM projects

RLS encoders can be used in many different ways, and because they are easy to install, they are used in many interesting student applications. We support students in their educational STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) projects, that aim to discover and awaken the next generation of engineers.
