POSITAL has extended support for SSI communications interfaces across its large family of IXARC absolute rotary encoders.

Abstract: This paper proposes an absolute positioning method for distance encoding by fusing reference signals with incremental signals. Reference marks with extinction characteristics are embedded in ...

Most planets spend their lives orbiting a star, but some are destined for exile. According to a study published in Science on Jan. 1, 2026, astronomers have successfully measured the mass and distance ...

FAULHABER is expanding its product range with the ultra-precise incremental encoder IERF3 L. Thanks to the optical measuring principle and state-of-the-art chip technology, the device offers the ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

Abstract: To improve the measurement precision of the optical encoder working at various speeds, an adaptive high-precision measurement framework is designed based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) ...
