A new miniature incremental encoder brings metrology-grade precision to space-restricted motion systems, offering high ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded ZS Instruments, which is a startup connected to Purdue University, a 2-year/$1 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Purdue University alumnus Sergey Zakharov, co-founder and chief technology officer of ZS Instruments, holds an optical encoder wafer created by a prototype of the company’s novel technology. ZS ...
