Thursday 9 October 2025, 9:52:05 PM


Renishaw UK & Ireland has introduced the FORTiS optical enclosed encoder, designed specifically for ease of installation and setup in manufacturing environments. The innovative encoder is equipped with an integral LED signal strength indicator, which provides immediate visual feedback to operators, simplifying the installation process.

The LED signal strength feature displays different colours to represent varying signal levels. A blue light signals that the level is optimal, green indicates a good level, orange denotes an acceptable level, and red warns that the signal level is not acceptable. This intuitive system allows for rapid assessment and adjustments, ensuring operational efficiency.

The FORTiS encoder is especially noteworthy for its capability to be installed in under three minutes for certain applications. This ultra-fast installation time can significantly reduce downtime, an essential consideration for businesses aiming to maintain continuous production lines.

Renishaw, renowned for its innovations in the field of metrology and industrial automation, continues to advance smart manufacturing solutions through products like the FORTiS encoder. The company’s focus on integrating user-friendly features and improving operational processes solidifies its standing in the global manufacturing sector.
