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 ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Renishaw offers a comprehensive range of non-contact encoders for position and motion control. These vary from open or enclosed optical, magnetic and laser encoders. Discover how our different types ...

Grayhill specializes in human interface optical encoders that provide excellent tactile feedback to the user. The greatest advantage of optical encoders is their non-contact switching technology which ...

In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

Many high-end semiconductor manufacturing processes require the processing environment to be completely free of any contaminants that cause imperfections within the semiconductor wafer and transistors ...
