How to substantially reduce encoder cost while gaining functionality with 44-Turn multi-turn rotary position sensors—retaining count and position during power loss.

Verasonics, Inc., the leader in research ultrasound, today announced the release of a significant update for its Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound platform. The release introduces advanced hardware ...

It’s easy to treat optical encoders as “black boxes” that need minimal consideration before they are installed to translate rotary motion into position or velocity feedback signals for a motion ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

Not every project has to be complicated– reinventing the wheel has its place, but sometimes you find a module or two that does exactly what you want, and the project is more than halfway done. That ...
