PreciSen™ Patented 2D Encoder
A highly optimized ASIC for absolute multi-dimensional sensing. Factory calibration eliminated at the silicon level.
The numbers
≤ 0.01°
Native accuracy — without calibration
±2.5 mm
Mounting tolerance, plus ±5° tilt & twist
>90%
Worst-frame contamination absorbed — angle output unaffected

Factory calibration steps
Proven live
Deliberately misaligned. Still precise.
Our robotic demonstrator mounts the code disc deliberately off-center — visible wobble, no precision fixturing, no calibration file. PreciSen™ learns and cancels the mount's geometry in real time, continuously while the axis runs — immediate convergence in Advanced mode, never replayed from a stored calibration.
Measured live on the PreciSen™ robotic demonstrator (24-bit unit): 3.0° mounting error with above-90% worst-frame contamination — simultaneously — compensated to 0.009–0.018° across different speeds.

Category comparison
| Conventional optical | Magnetic | Inductive | PreciSen™ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory calibration | Per-unit calibration typical | Needed for high-accuracy grades | Typically required | None — immediate self-compensation |
| Mounting tolerance | Tens of µm; precision fixturing | Magnet centring critical | Moderate; air-gap sensitive | ±2.5 mm radial/axial, ±5° tilt & twist |
| Contamination | Optical path easily blinded | Dirt-immune; stray-field sensitive | Robust to dirt; metal debris sensitive | >90% worst-frame obstruction absorbed |
| Accuracy class | High — after calibration | Moderate | Moderate | ≤ 0.01° native — no calibration |
| Off-axis geometry (2D) | Not measured | Not measured | Not measured | Measured every frame — cancelled live |
Category-level comparison — incumbent characteristics vary by vendor and grade. PreciSen™ figures as demonstrated on the robotic demonstrator.
Dynamic Compensation
On-chip processing automatically removes errors from mounting, runout, and dynamic loading in real time — targeting 0.01° residual error. No precision fixturing, no factory calibration, no external reference required.
Contamination Immunity
Full functionality maintained under massive real-world contamination — above 90% of the optical field of view obstructed without losing the angle output. Oil, grease, and heavy markings are irrelevant.
Extreme Mechanical Tolerance
±2.5 mm radial/axial offset and ±5° tilt & twist — no precision fixturing or factory calibration required. Ideal for imprecise mounting and high-vibration dynamic environments.
Maximum Integration & Performance
Low BOM cost thanks to high level of ASIC integration and patented processing. Sampling rates fully compliant with the demanding requirements of robotic applications. SPI, I²C, BiSS, SSI interfaces built in.
Ready for Your Application
Firmware-programmable and highly adaptable, PreciSen™ fits a broad range of applications out of the box — and can be fine-tuned to your specific requirements with minimal effort.
Seamless Integration
Drop PreciSen™ into your actuator stack with straightforward mechanical mounting, optical alignment, and firmware configuration — no custom silicon or lengthy NRE cycles required.
Application-Specific Tuning
Higher speed for a hip joint, finer resolution for a hand, or multi-turn for a torso? Firmware programmability lets you tailor performance to each use case without hardware changes.
