Getting the encoder right was a little harder than I thought it would be, but mostly because I didn’t want to process more interrupts.

Co., Ltd. has recently obtained a patent titled "Encoder Device for Joint Actuator, Robot Joint Actuator, Robot," marking a new advancement in the field of robot joint actuatortechnology. This patent ...

Using the right technology to measure position and rpm of a rotating shafts requires that designers understand the nuances of the various types of encoders.

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 ...

He ended up exploring hard drive motors as encoders, and while the results aren’t exactly high resolution, he may be onto something. Starting with a teardown of some old HDDs — save those magnets!

High-resolution encoders can be either sealed from contamination or exposed. Exposed linear encoders have been used for several years on precision jig borers, grinding machines, and stages.

For HID, its iCLASS SE CP1000 Encoders and other products associated with this device have been considered the gold standard in secure access control. However, that changed this week when HID ...

Taking position in the ACZ series mechanical encoders is a 9-mm addition. The two-bit quadrature ACZ09 series encoder is configurable into over 1,000 different versions.

Intel's AV1 encoder produces a relatively clean video compared to x264—and both of these options utterly obliterate NVIDIA and AMD's GPU encoders, which seriously struggle with too-low bitrates.

Telos Systems offers ProStream, a hardware streaming audio encoder. The company said the 1RU encoder, which retails for $1,995, integrates several functions that would otherwise require three ...
