Encoders and Sensors
FSI Technologies Inc. manufactures a full line of high performance rotary encoders and custom photo-electric sensors for use in industrial and commercial applications. We were founded in 1959 as FSI / Fork Standards and are committed to innovation, quality and performance.
Encoders
FSI “Fork Standards” shaft encoders: ESE, RSE, HDE, MBR
FSI has been designing and manufacturing high quality optical incremental rotary shaft encoders for industrial, commercial and medical applications for over 40 years. Encoders convert motion into digital information for display or control based on motion variables such as position, speed, length, RPM, etc.
FSI encoders are widely recognized for their legendary quality and durability. We manufacture and brand label encoders for many familiar encoder suppliers. We can custom design an encoder for your OEM application.
Kwangwoo Encoders: RIB, RIA, RAA, RIM
FSI has partnered with Kwangwoo to provide a complete line of competitively-priced, high-quality, industrial-grade optical encoders, both solid and hollow shaft, absolute, and manual. Kwangwoo encoders are used on many CNC machines, elevator doors, embroidery machines and other industrial uses. FSI is the North American partner for Kwangwoo encoders.
Sensors
FSI has pioneered many types of photoelectric sensor designs. As this marketplace has evolved, FSI's photoelectric offerings have resulted in a number of
specialized "built to spec" OEM oriented products. Available as diffused photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors & modulated high-speed
retro-reflective photoelectric sensors.
Encoder Accessories
FSI offers a complete line of encoder accessories including measuring wheels, cables, mounting brackets and couplings. Compatible counters, display and controls are also available.
Distribution & Field Partners
FSI has a network of over 700 distributors, representatives and factory trained service providers.
