Miniature Optical Encoders For Medical Positioning Devices
Source: Canon USA, Inc. Optoelectronic Components
The SR series of miniature optical encoders has been designed to fit into motion control devices with limited space, such as robotic arms for surgery, nanopositioning stages, microscopes, and other medical devices.
These optical encoders use a 650nm LED as their light source and have a working distance of 1mm +0.3mm. Velocity and positioning information is relayed through an XY-stage and turntable equipment. They’ve been designed to facilitate installation and alignment simplicity and can easily be retrofitted to an existing system.
