High feedback loop gain is one of several critical parameters frequently needed for precision servo drives in automation equipment, robots, handling systems, machine tools, and various production ...

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 ...

Engineers using an incremental encoder for the first time often have a misunderstanding about what types of signals are provided by an encoder and how to interface an encoder to their application.

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

One of the key factors of any automated system is safety. To ensure safety of operators, machines must operate within safety parameters. If a machine strays from these parameters, safety components ...
