Sensor Technology for Industry and Research
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH is a specialist in precise distance measurement systems and professional sensor technology for industry and research. The company develops and produces displacement sensors, angle encoders and transducers, including draw-wire sensors, LVDTs, digital measuring probes, digital scales, linear potentiometers, encoders and contactless technologies such as laser sensors, ultrasonic sensors, magnetostrictive transducers, magnet band sensors, eddy current and capacitive sensors. The portfolio is complemented by displays, indicators, signal converters and custom sensor solutions. The sensors are used, among other things, in industry, in research, on engine and aviation test benches as well as in film and plastics production. WayCon distributes its products through international partners and an online shop, and offers consulting as well as a repair service. The headquarters has been located since 16.03.2026 at Siemensstraße 5 in 85521 Ottobrunn.
