The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

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 ...

Using the LS7366 counter from LSI Computer Systems, designers of feedback systems for encoders, “which typically find use on shafts and machinery,” can offload their system processors, according to ...

Today's consumer devices are defined by portability. However, where these designs incorporate movement, how do product engineers integrate feedback? In portable medical applications, reflective ...

The DWS60 Draw Wire encoder system provides linear motion feedback over long distances for a range of industrial applications. Key features include an extended measurement range capable of measuring ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

It’s easy to take feedback devices for granted. However, the impact this seemingly minor component can have on a system’s ...

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 ...
