Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Ph.D. student Phillip Si and Assistant Professor Peng Chen developed Latent-EnSF, a technique that improves how ML models assimilate data to make predictions.

The hollow shaft encoder uses a magnetic scanning principle for resistance to contamination, targeting machine design elements such as headstocks on lathes. The encoder operates with shaft speeds up ...
