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 ...

This video-on-demand buyers' guide is meant to walk newbies through what an encoder is and how to choose one, rather than help a serious buyer choose a vendor or approach in any of the categories ...

There is an ever-increasing demand for accuracy in many manufacturing industries. Adding to this general need for higher accuracy is the fact that industry sectors such as semiconductors and ...

Consumers expect quality video experiences at the touch of a button. Without live streaming encoders, though, this wouldn’t be possible. Streaming encoders are an essential tool for transporting live ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Imagine a world where video streaming could have significantly higher quality without using up more bandwidth—or have the same quality while having half the impact on your data caps. A world where ...
