Renishaw – High-Precision Encoders for Position and Motion Control
Renishaw is a global company with core expertise in precision measurement, motion control and manufacturing innovation. As Electromate’s strategic partner in Canada, Renishaw offers a broad range of encoder technologies—including optical, magnetic and laser systems—designed for high-performance mechatronic and robotic integration in demanding industrial environments.
Through its associate company RLS d.o.o., Renishaw extends its encoder portfolio to robust magnetic sensor solutions for harsh conditions. RLS develops magnetic rotary and linear encoder systems tailored for applications in automation, metalworking, packaging, robotics and heavy-duty equipment.
Electromate distributes both Renishaw and RLS encoder lines across Canada, providing access to full configuration options, local technical support and system-level integration with complementary motion components.
Optical Encoders - Use interferential and reflective sensing principles to deliver high-resolution, low-noise position feedback. Models such as RESOLUTE™, TONiC™, ATOM™, and EVOLUTE™ achieve sub-micron precision with compact readheads and robust signal processing.
Laser Encoders - Offer nanometre-level accuracy for long-range motion feedback. The RLE laser encoder system combines advanced optics with dynamic position measurement, ideal for precision assembly and metrology applications.
Magnetic Encoders (via RLS) - Renishaw’s encoder range is extended through its associate company, RLS d.o.o., in which Renishaw holds a 50 % share. RLS designs and manufactures rotary and linear magnetic encoders engineered for durability and contamination resistance in harsh environments. These non-contact systems provide reliable feedback where optical or laser sensors may be impractical.
Application Areas:
Industrial Automation - Precise position and velocity feedback for assembly, packaging, and inspection systems.
Robotics - Compact, lightweight encoder options for articulated, SCARA, and collaborative robots.
Machine Tools - High-resolution linear and rotary feedback for CNC axes and spindles.
Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing - Nanometre accuracy for wafer handling, lithography, and electronics assembly equipment.
Medical and Laboratory Systems - Smooth, accurate motion for imaging, diagnostic, and laboratory automation platforms.
Heavy-Duty and Mobile Machinery - RLS magnetic encoders provide reliable performance in vibration, dust, and oil-prone environments.
