About Kübler
Fritz Kübler GmbH is a family-owned company founded in 1960 with headquarters in Villingen-Schwenningen. The company develops, manufactures and distributes products and solutions for measurement, transmission and evaluation: encoders (incremental and absolute, optical and magnetic), bearingless encoders, motor feedback systems for servo motors, linear measurement technology such as draw-wire encoders up to 42.5 m and shaft copying systems, inclination sensors, radar sensors, slip rings for the transmission of power, signals and data, as well as signal converters, displays, counters, process devices and safe speed monitors up to SIL3/PLe. The products are used in a variety of industries, including factory automation, drive and hoisting technology, elevator technology, mobile automation, heavy industry, packaging and filling systems, and the wind energy and solar industries. Housings are made, among other things, from aluminium and stainless steel; pre-assembled cable sets with PUR cables are also part of the portfolio. In addition to standard products, Kübler implements modifications and customised special solutions. With more than 600 employees, twelve international group members and manufacturing sites in Europe, Asia and the USA, the Kübler Group is represented in over 50 countries.
