Joral designs and manufactures Shafted, and Non Shafted magnetic encoders, position sensors, and Tilt Sensors. Joral has been the supplier for CAT timber harvesting computers for 15 years. During a customer visit in 2004, an engineer asked if we could design a better encoder since the current product they were using had a life in the field of several months. Our first shafted encoder product was installed on a harvest head in January of 2005. During 2007, we invented the Non Contact Encoder in the Hockey Puck format, and applied for a patent on the design. We named it that, first because of its unique shape, but also because to prove its ruggedness, we played hockey, using the encoder as the puck. Higher pulse rate encoders, the 18mm form factor, and 30 mm form factor followed. Our latest market innovation is the field programmable magnetic encoder requiring only a simple push of a button and turn of the shaft. Our first shafted encoders were (and still are) installed on timber harvesting heads. We have encoders on, or are the OEM supplier for manufactures such as CAT, John Deere, Logmax, TigerCat, Waratah, etc. Our first Hockey Puck encoders were installed on a ship laying undersea cable, watching the spools unreel the cable. Since then, Joral non contact encoders have been installed in a myriad of situations where traditional encoders have failed due to environmental conditions. Including such applications as cement trucks, car washes, logging machines, sewer cleaning machines and conveyors on bottling lines. All Joral devices are designed from the end users point of view. Diagnostic LEDs, total encapsulation, wide operating voltage range. While standard products are our main focus, we also design custom and embedded sensors for OEM applications.
