摘要: An absolute encoder configured to, when a rotation range of a measurement target member is limited by a brake mechanism, generate an AB-phase signal and a Z-phase signal for calculating a rotation angle of the measurement target member. The absolute encoder includes a brake mechanism, a plurality of Z-phase-signal-detection-target portions each having a Z-phase-signal-rise-detection-target portion and a Z-phase-signal-fall-detection-target portion, a plurality of AB-phase-signal-detection-target portions each located between a Z-phase-signal-rise-detection-target portion and a Z-phase-signal-fall-detection-target portion that are adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction, to thereby form a plurality of restriction ranges each including at least one of the Z-phase-signal-rise-detection-target portions and at least one of the Z-phase-signal-fall-detection-target portions. An interval in the circumferential direction between a Z-phase-signal-rise-detection-target portion and a Z-phase-signal-fall-detection-target portion that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is different among the plurality of restriction ranges.

摘要: An inductive type position encoder includes a scale, a detector portion and a signal processor. According to one aspect, field generating elements and sensing elements of the detector portion are provided on opposite sides of the scale such that at least part of the scale is between the field generating elements and the sensing elements (transmissive configuration). According to another aspect, the scale comprises a periodic scale pattern including signal modulating elements that are disposed along a scale direction, which is not parallel to a measuring axis direction of the encoder and is slanted at a scale angle relative to the measuring axis direction, such that there is a corresponding y-direction displacement for a given x-direction displacement of the encoder. These aspects of the disclosure make it possible to design a very compact inductive type position encoder, including one capable of indicating an absolute position along the scale.

摘要: There is provided an optical encoder including a phase shifter circuit and a multiple hysteresis comparators. The phase shifter circuit receives four input signals, and outputs multiple phase shifted signals based on the four input signals. Each of the multiple hysteresis comparators uses a changeable operation hysteresis level to compare a couple of phase shifted signals among the multiple phase shifted signals, wherein the changeable operation hysteresis level is determined corresponding to a signal frequency of the four input signals.

摘要: A displacement measuring system is disclosed. The system may implement a code carrier formed from a data storage medium which includes a relative displacement measurement code channel which is an arrangement of pit lines and bump lines. A composite subsystem may include an optical laser assembly, a signal processing unit, and a power driver, and can scan and decode the code carrier by focusing a laser beam on the code carrier and obtaining a group of radio frequency electric signals from the reflection of the laser beam which represents the bumps and pits of the code carrier. A central control and signal output unit can process the electric signals produced by multiple composite subsystems and output information representing incremental and absolute displacement.

摘要: An exemplary encoder assembly includes a substrate, a first encoder, and a second encoder. The substrate has two or more position sensors, each position sensor being configured for detecting a rotary position of a shaft or other rotating element of a machine. The first encoder includes at least one first position sensor of the two or more position sensors. The at least one first position sensor is disposed on the substrate for off-axis alignment with the shaft or other rotating element of the machine. The second encoder includes a second position sensor of the two or more position sensors, the second position sensor being disposed on the substrate for on-axis or off-axis alignment with the shaft or other rotating element of the machine. Each position sensor is configured to detect different or common signal types, and a signal type of the second position sensor excludes optical signals.

摘要: A temporal multiplexing circuit can include a set of waveguides having different delay lengths, with the waveguides arranged according to a de Bruijn sequence. The set of waveguides can be coupled to a cyclic switch that selectably delivers a group of unsynchronized photons (or other signal pulses) from a contiguous group of input paths into a contiguous group of the delay waveguides. Similarly, a spatial multiplexing circuit can include a set of pairs of waveguides that each implement mode swapping of photons, with different swap distances, with the pairs of waveguides arranged according to a de Bruijn sequence. The set of waveguides can be coupled to a cyclic switch that selectably delivers a group of photons from a set of input paths into a contiguous group of the mode-swap waveguides. Temporal and spatial multiplexing can be combined in a switching network.
