Wachendorff Automation GmbH & Co. KG

Our passion is the development and manufacturing of absolute and incremental encoders, motor feedback devices, and complete measuring and draw-wire systems for a wide range of industrial automation and machinery applications.

Developed and manufactured in Geisenheim/Rheingau, Germany, Wachendorff sensor systems are used worldwide across demanding serial production and automation environments. Through the partnership with Encoder Products Company (EPC), customers throughout North America now benefit from expanded access to these advanced encoder technologies along with responsive local engineering support, application expertise, and motion control solutions.

As machines continue to become smaller, faster, and more connected, the focus remains on developing sensor technologies that deliver high communication capability, compact design, precision, and dynamic performance for automation systems.

With a broad standard product portfolio and extensive configuration options, Wachendorff and EPC can provide application-specific encoder solutions quickly and efficiently. Worldwide, more than 2,500 customized solutions are already in use.

A thoughtfully designed modular system and the LeanQ manufacturing philosophy support highly efficient production processes, including one-piece flow manufacturing, while maintaining exceptional quality and flexibility. Industry 4.0, Smart Factory initiatives, and the Industrial Internet of Things continue to shape both product development and internal processes as the companies work to maximize the benefits of digitalization, automation, and global connectivity.

Together, Wachendorff and EPC combine innovative encoder solutions with responsive engineering support, motion control expertise, and industrial automation experience to help OEMs, integrators, and end users solve positioning and feedback challenges.
