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 ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies claims to introduce the industry's smallest reflective incremental optical encoder. Available in a surface-mount, lead-free package, the AEDR-8400 encoder ...

The new QM22 series of incremental optical encoders from Quantum Devices Inc. measures just 22-mm in diameter and a 12.4-mm thick. It fits on a NEMA 11 BLDC servo motor and can replace the obsolete ...

SICK announced the launch of its DDS36 and DDS50 incremental encoders. They are low-cost, light duty optical incremental encoders that offer an exceptional price/performance ratio. SICK announced the ...

Avago Technologies announced on April 25 that it has expanded its family of incremental optical encoder engines that provide all of the elements required for easy ...

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 ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...

Quantum Devices’ QM22 series of optical incremental encoders measure 22 mm in diameter, allowing for integration into tight spaces. These are modular encoders are designed for high volume OEM ...
