Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

Using the LS7366 counter from LSI Computer Systems, designers of feedback systems for encoders, “which typically find use on shafts and machinery,” can offload their system processors, according to ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square Encoders are widely used to help control ...

The Zynq all programmable System On a Chip is a recently introduced device from Xilinx which incorporates two ARM A9 CPU cores, I/O peripherals, memory controller, and programmable logic. This paper ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

Schaumburg, IL, Nov. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEIDENHAIN announces several significant technical upgrades to the already successful ERA 4000 angle encoder series, thereby adding increased ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - February 02, 2016) - HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION released the well known LIDA 400 series linear encoder in the year 2000 and has established itself in many applications ...

Today’s servo systems depend on accurate, consistent feedback to maintain position, control speed, and execute complex motion ...
