Safety Encoders for Functional & Operational Safety

Designing for functional safety means every component has to pull its weight. That includes your encoders.

Through the partnership between Encoder Products Company (EPC) and TWK, you get access to a complete portfolio of SIL-rated encoders and safety sensors—backed by decades of design experience, in-house manufacturing, and application-level support.

Whether you’re building collaborative robots, AGVs/AMRs, mobile equipment, or industrial automation, we can help you meet your safety requirements without compromising performance or footprint.

How We Work With You

Designing with safety encoders can feel complex. We make it easier by:

  • Helping you select the right SIL level, interface, and form factor

  • Providing application engineering support from EPC in North America, backed by TWK’s safety expertise in Germany

  • Offering both catalog and customer-specific variants when your design demands something unique

  • Supporting fast prototyping and consistent long-term supply
