Custom Solutions
High Performance Encoder Systems
If your performance requirements demand a customized encoder solution, MicroE has the products and resources to respond quickly and effectively. Our customized range from modified standard encoders, to solutions that involve applications engineering, custom signal processing electronics, custom scales, and more.
Odyssey, our OEM support program, is the vehicle through which these solutions progress from concept to proven product and our Rapid Customer Response (RCR) Team are the people who make it happen. With the OEM Odyssey program backed, by the RCR Team, we can get you to market rapidly and sustain your growth over your product's entire life cycle. Click the "Odyssey Support" tab above for a detailed program description or read on to see the scope of RCR services.
Odyssey OEM support will take your product through its complete life cycle.
Rapid Customer Response Services
MicroE Systems' Rapid Customer Response Team (RCR) provides custom prototype solutions with the shortest possible lead-times. This may include a standard MicroE product modified for your application, or a full-custom design.
|
| RCR services examples pictured above from Left to right include custom high bandwidth sensor, ChipEncoder on a custom circuit board, and Mercury encoder with a custom mounting bracket for rotary application. |
The RCR Team consists of your regional sales engineer, applications engineers, electrical and mechanical technicians, as well as dedicated design engineers. The RCR team collaborates with you on product definition, then develops quotation, design, build, qualification strategies to insure the best result in the least time.
