Fremont, Calif. — Elma Electronic is offering an all-optical encoder that boasts a rotational life of more than 10 million rotations thanks to no mechanical contacts as well as the use of infrared ...

The use of 100% hard-tooled parts and patented light-pipe technology for optical switching enables the Series 62AG optical encoder from Grayhill Inc. to be price-competitive with mechanical ...

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 ...

Since an optical encoder does not have a mechanical contact wiper, its useful life may increase to 200 million rotational cycles at up to 3,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) with the addition of ball ...

With the new Grayhill 61L optical encoder series, the portfolio of MMI products from Grayhill is fully complete. Generating one quadrature cycle per ...

Computational optics integrates optical hardware and algorithms, enhancing imaging capabilities through joint optimization ...

Optical encoders cause low, steady noise, whereas magnetic and inductive encoders cause higher, much more heterogeneous noise, even with a low-pass filter.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded ZS Instruments, which is a startup connected to Purdue University, a 2-year/$1 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant ...

Timing a brushless DC motor to a commutation device whether it's a hall sensor or commutating encoder is a time consuming, specialized & expensive process for motor manufacturers. Discover first ...
