In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

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 ...

Veratus is the first MicroE encoder built using the company's new VeraPath™ optical technology, delivering the reliability, signal stability, and dirt immunity required in many applications. VeraPath ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

The encoder module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal-shaping electronics to produce the two-channel bounceless TTL outputs. The internal monolithic ...

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 ...

A Purdue University-connected startup has received federal funding to innovate an industry projected to reach $4.4 billion by 2028. The funding will be used to improve the manufacture of sensors used ...

Purdue University alumnus Sergey Zakharov, co-founder and chief technology officer of ZS Instruments, holds an optical encoder wafer created by a prototype of the company’s novel technology. ZS ...
