Orlando-based optical component maker LightPath Technologies says it has signed a “substantial” contract to provide the UK-headquartered metrology firm Renishaw with two types of molded glass optics.

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 ...

Computer Conversions' Shaft-Tracker resolver-based encoder provides both incremental and true absolute position outputs with a resolution of 4096 counts/turn. A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based ...

The key to performance of LiDAR sensors and many other optoelectronic sensors lies in their optical system. No matter if automotive, industrial automation or safety and security is the application, ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

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, ...

Using fiber-optic technology within the cable assembly, the MR121 ZapFree encoder cable replaces standard controller-to-sensor connections and reduces ground-loop and interference problems in motion ...
