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 ...

Direct-drive systems are firmly entrenched in the semiconductor and electronics-manufacturing industries, and are becoming increasingly common in the machine tool industry. Direct-drive systems offer ...

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 ...

Engineers using an incremental encoder for the first time often have a misunderstanding about what types of signals are provided by an encoder and how to interface an encoder to their application.

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 ...

IXARC magnetic encoders provide an incremental interface with A, B, Z, and inverted signals available as HTL (Push-Pull) or TTL (RS422). IXARC magnetic encoders provide an incremental interface with A ...

It takes considerable time and effort to manufacture “perfect” surfaces. The mirrors on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, with a surface area of about 25 m 2 and finished to accuracies of 25 nm, took ...

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 BBC has always pushed boundaries to achieve better video quality for both streaming and broadcasting - one example is the BBC’s contribution to the Ultra High Definition (UHD) standard. Many TVs ...
