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 ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...

Laser encoders used to measure position can be complicated and difficult to install. A simplified design, the RLE10, from Renishaw Inc., Hoffman Estates, Ill. (www.renishaw.com), combines multiaxis ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...
