Encoder Accuracy vs Resolution
Optical encoders provide high resolution, high operating speeds and reliability Dynapar offers both mask type and phased array sensing technology. Optical encoders with Dynapar's phased array technology can operate in high shock and vibration environments and are typically rated at 400 G shock and 20 G vibration. Optical encoders work by shining a light source through a patterned disc that is read by a photo-detector. Optical encoders engines can be implemented as incremental or absolute encoders and are available in various mounting styles.
Optical encoders generate signals or pulses in response to a patterned disc rotating to reflect or transmiss light from an emitter to a sensor. An integrated circuit then processes the sensor data into digital feedback.
Optical encoders are just one of several feedback technologies used to track position and/or speed data. They are commonly used for applications where high accuracy and resolution are important criteria.
Optical encoders provide different output types based on whether they are incremental or absolute. Incremental type optical encoders output a continuous square wave with the crests corresponding to pulses. The output of the absolute optical encoders is a unique digital word or bit and is output in the set communication protocol such as BiSS or EtherNet/IP.
