Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Optical encoders are critical components in systems with rotating shafts or parts. Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals.

Time is money. This applies especially to cost-intensive in-dustrial plants. Every even a short downtime has a negative impact. Repeated start-up times add up and become costly interruptions. No ...

This video-on-demand buyers' guide is meant to walk newbies through what an encoder is and how to choose one, rather than help a serious buyer choose a vendor or approach in any of the categories ...

[Scott Rumschlag] wanted a way to precisely map interior spaces for remodeling projects, but did not want to deal with the massive datasets created by optical 3D scanning, and found the precision of ...
