Renishaw, is adding to its extensive optical encoder range with the launch of the Vionic series, a new set of ultra-high accuracy, super-compact all-in-one digital incremental encoders. Designed for ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

For the first time ever high-resolution sine-to-digital converter iC-NQC provides the microelectronics industry with a BiSS C slave protocol that enables bidirectional data exchange at the same time ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

The ERN 1000 and 1100 Series of low-profile incremental rotary encoders with block commutation tracks are suitable for small-dimensioned servomotors. The encoders feature opto-ASIC-based photoelectric ...

A DSP design approach, including hardware and software implementation for a quasi-absolute encoder. LEE WEI YAN, Applications Engineer, Avago Technologies, San Jose, Calif. A high-accuracy 20-bit ...

The iC-PXL3212 from iC-Haus is an optical, reflective, lensless encoder IC with integrated HD phased-array photo sensors and a blue LED chip. For the latest generation of these encoder ICs, the chip ...
