An encoder scale includes a tabular base material and an optical pattern provided above one surface of the base material, a first region and a second region being disposed side by side above the optical pattern. The first region includes a resin layer disposed above the base material and including photosensitive resin and a metal film disposed above the resin layer and formed of a metal material. The surface of the first region is configured mainly by a first surface having a normal line in the thickness direction of the base material. The surface of the second region is configured mainly by a second surface inclined with respect to the first surface.

An encoder apparatus comprising a readhead moveable relative to a scale, configured to produce a position signal, as well as to produce a reference mark signal when the readhead passes over a reference mark on the scale, configured such that the process for producing the reference mark signal adapts automatically in response to a change in circumstance so as to at least pursue maintenance of a given relationship between the position and reference mark signals.

A method of optical sensing is disclosed. The method comprises coupling an excitation optical signal into a first optical fiber to induce Rayleigh backscattering, thereby providing a backscattered signal; coupling the backscattered signal into a second optical fiber, spatially separated from the first optical fiber; and optically amplifying the backscattered signal in the second optical fiber, thereby generating a sensing signal.
摘要:
An encoder apparatus comprising a scale comprising scale features in at least one track which define a series of incremental scale marks and at least one reference mark and a readhead comprising a light source, a diffraction grating, an incremental photodetector and a reference photodetector comprising at least two detector channels. The features defining the at least one reference mark are configured such that the at least one reference mark as resolvable by each of the at least two detector channels comprises a single feature. The optical arrangement of the encoder is such that a non-imaged representation of at least the track in which the at least one reference mark is contained falls onto the detector.

In order to measure a distance in a construction machine having a caterpillar chain drive, at least one contactless sensor for being arranged at a chassis of the construction machine is provided such that the contactless sensor is directed to a caterpillar chain of the caterpillar chain drive of the construction machine. An evaluating unit is connected to the contactless sensor and operative to determine a distance covered by the construction machine based on the signals received by the contactless sensor.

A position of a rotor of a synchronous generator is measured under no load and under load. An angle of difference between where a terminal voltage crosses a zero-point and the marked position of the rotor under no load is calculated. A load angle is of the synchronous generator based the no load angle of difference and the load angle of difference.

An encoder includes a plurality of slit tracks, a point light source, a first to third light-receiving arrays. The plurality of slit tracks respectively comprises a plurality of reflection slits. The point light source emits diffusion light to the plurality of slit tracks. The first light-receiving array receives light reflected by the slit track comprising an incremental pattern. The second light-receiving array receives light reflected by the slit track comprising an incremental pattern longer in pitch than other incremental patterns, and is disposed at a position on a side of a direction where the point light source is disposed, than the first light-receiving array, The third light-receiving array receives light reflected by the slit track comprising an absolute pattern, and is disposed at a position on a side of a direction where the point light source is disposed, than the first light-receiving array.

A scanning system includes a synchronizing arrangement including a light guide and a photosensor. The light guide directs a light beam to a photosensor, wherein light is deflected by one or more moving elements in the scanning system into a scanning region. The light guide has a light entry region, a reflecting region for reflecting light entering the light entry region and one or more light exit faces, so that light entering the light guide through the light entry region is at least partly reflected in the reflecting region and exits through one of the exit faces. The shape and the properties of the light guide are such that for two pencils of light rays, a first pencil of light rays is spaced from the second pencil and is non-overlapping with said second pencil of light rays.
摘要:
A pupil splitting lens that splits a pupil of a light beam from a deflector into a plurality of light beams in a main scanning direction of the deflector and a pupil splitting lens that splits the light beam into a plurality of light beams in a sub-scanning direction are disposed relative to a light detection element. The light detection element detects image forming positions of the four light beams formed as a result of the splitting by the plurality of pupil splitting lenses. A CPU determines the amount of focus shift and the amount of image forming position shift from these four image forming positions.
