We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one manufacturer’s 12-step process to ease servo motor repair.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Mostly Testing (Or how to set up an encoder test) Comments Post categories: HDTV Andy Quested | 09:00 UK time, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 ...

Encoders are prominent in the medical industry because of the precision necessary to accurately and safely test and treat the human body—and develop new procedures in the lab.

With a magnetic encoder on the servo output shaft and a tiny optical encoder hand-built for inside the motor itself, much higher accuracy is achievable by allowing the control system to compensate ...
