POSITAL's measuring wheels and accessories leverage the company’s IXARC encoders to measure linear motion in conveyor systems, the manufacture of rolled or roll-to-roll products, and similar ...

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

Key points of this article The conveyance direction of a line scan image should be designed based on the 'travel distance per line' rather than time. The trigger that signals the arrival of an object ...

An absolute rotary encoder determines the angular position of a shaft on the basis of a static reference point. They are sensors that generate digital signals that correspond to the position in ...

Encoders are at the heart of any closed loop servo system, providing feedback to the controller, which uses this information to determine if the motor reached the commanded position or velocity. Thus, ...

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square waves, offset by 90° in phase. The number of ...

All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...

One of the key factors of any automated system is safety. To ensure safety of operators, machines must operate within safety parameters. If a machine strays from these parameters, safety components ...

AEDR-872x encoder is an optical encoder with two channel for differential analog and a third channel for digital index output. This application note discusses the features, benefits, and proper ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...
