How TR Safety Encoders Enhance Operational Safety and Reliability in AGV/AMR Applications

We’re featuring our popular Safety encoders at Automate 2026—visit us at booth 28027.

TR SIL-rated safety encoders provide accurate speed and steering feedback for autonomous vehicle operations in material handling or assembly operations.Our incremental encoders deliver precise drive wheel rotation data for accurate velocity control, while absolute encoders provide exact steering angle feedback in swivel drive systems. This ensures reliability in navigation and maneuverability in the system.

Closing the loop on both drive and steering axes with advanced encoder feedback enables real-time correction for wheel slip. This allows AGVs and AMRs to automatically adjust wheel speed and maintain performance across varying terrain and load conditions.

Encoders are Perfect for Autonomous Operations:
