Scientists have developed a new type of optical disc that can increase information storage capacity to the "petabit" level — 125 terabytes of data, or the combined storage capacity of about 15,000 ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

Optical encoders are electromechanical motion sensor and feedback devices comprising of a photodetector, LED light source, along with a disc with slot apertures. The benefits of optical encoders ...

This week, Sony has launched a storage appliance that eschews traditional magnetic media like hard drives and tapes in favor of lasers and plastics. The Everspan Library System is best described as a ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Shaft motion can be tracked by incremental encoders for analysis and use by system controls downstream. Rotational direction is monitored with an encoder Shaft motion can be tracked by incremental ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

Optical sensors are successfully used for measurement in many areas, such as the position sensing of moving objects or the measurement of distance. The types of sensor elements used in these ...
