SubArc: An Inexpensive, High Resolution, Open Source, Absolute Magnetic Rotary Encoder
Room: Conference Room, Bldg: SAMSAT Education Center, 5035 SW 36th St, San Antonio, TX, San Antonio, Texas, United States, 78226, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/480258High resolution absolute rotary encoders are essential to precision applications like tracking telescopes, semiconductor manufacturing, low-tolerance machining, and robotic mechanisms. However, high-end encoders are extremely expensive ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars for those with 20 to 22+ bit resolution, respectively. The cost and proprietary information barriers of these encoders prevent independent researchers, small ...
