    摘要: An optical readhead for measuring a displacement along a measuring axis direction between the readhead and a scale track comprises an illumination portion configured to output source light to the scale track and a monolithic detector configuration. The monolithic detector configuration comprises: a first track photodetector portion configured to receive scale light from the scale track; a first metal layer; a second metal layer; and a plurality of dummy vias between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The plurality of dummy vias is arranged to block light transmission along a layer between the first and second metal layers, and the plurality of dummy vias is formed by the same process steps used to fabricate a plurality of active vias used to connect circuit elements on the monolithic detector configuration.

    摘要: An absolute position encoder outputs position data as absolute data. When a power supply is turned on, absolute position data is read from an absolute code pattern (6) and is set in a counter (14). Thereafter, the counter (14) effects counting of incremental pulses read from an incremental code pattern (7) and increments the contents of the counter (14). Accurate absolute data referenced upon startup to the absolute code pattern can thus be output even during a high speed rotation.

    摘要: A measurement range is divided into a plurality of sections, a binary coded signal is generated at each division point, small section signals are generated at a predetermined interval between the binary coded signals, the binary coded signals are weighted by angles, and the small section signals are added or subtracted to or from the weighted signal to interpolate between two binary coded signals. Since the increment signals generated between the adjacent absolute signals is used as an interpolation signal between the absolute signals, the measurement accuracy is enhanced without increasing the number of elements for generating the absolute signals. The measured angle can be accurately read by adding or subtracting the increment signals to and from the weighted signal of the absolute signal.

    摘要: A shaft angle encoder comprises a code disc (21) mountable coaxially upon a rotary shaft (20) whose angular position is to be continuously measured. Coarse-bit angular position data are encoded digitally in Gray code by a pattern of opaque and transparent sectors provided on a plurality of inner annular tracks on the code disc (21). Fine-bit angular position data are encoded in analog triangular waveforms generated by the outermost annular track on the code disc (21). The analog position data are converted to fine-bit digital values, which are combined with coarse-bit digital values to obtain an angular position measurement. Alignment of the fine-bit digital values with the coarse-bit digital values obtained from the Gray code position data is accomplished by using information provided by overlapping the least significant bit of the coarse-bit digital values with the most significant bit of the fine-code digital values.

The angular displacement of a shaft 43 (Fig. 1A) is digitized by means of movable transformer elements rotating with the shaft. a resolver measuring the coarse position and an " Inductosyn " (Registered Trade Mark) measuring the fine position. The phase modulated sine wave output from the Inductosyn is applied to a zero cross detector 52 to give a time differentiated output pulse to inhibit a fine gate 56 from counting clock pulses. The output from the fine gate is fed to a fine counter 65. In a similar way the output from the resolver 22 is applied to a zero cross detector 53 to inhibit the gate 57, through which pulses from a coarse clock have been sent to a coarse counter 66. The outputs from the counters may be used to illuminate a display 81. In addition the output from the fine counter is applied to a digital to analogue converter 74 the output from which is used to bias the coarse zero crossing detector 53 to retard the advance of the coarse stop pulse until the Inductosyn cycle is completed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for simultaneously detecting and comparing a plurality of upper patterns indicative of Gray code patterns and having greater pattern pitches and a plurality of lower patterns indicative of pure binary code patterns and having smaller pattern pitches to correct the upper pattern detection data and thereby detect an absolute position. An absolute position detecting apparatus includes a code plate formed with a plurality of upper patterns and a plurality of lower patterns which are arranged radially along the periphery of a rotating body; a mask arranged at a position opposite to the code disc and having a plurality of upper slits and a plurality of first slits and a plurality of second slits which are formed to correspond to the lower patterns and having a 90-degree phase difference therebetween; a laser light source arranged at a position on the opposite side of the code plate to the mask to illuminate the code plate to form pattern projection images on the mask; a light detector for detecting the pattern projection images to detect positional alignment between the patterns and the slits; and data processing circuit for correcting detected data of the upper patterns by referring to those of the lower patterns.
