XCoder: Very high-speed, high-resolution, miniature, absolute optical encoder

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

The goal of the current discovery project is to develop the detailed concept, to demonstrate the feasibility and realize the first prototype of the world's fastest, versatile, miniature, high-resolution, rotary, optical encoder. XCoder targets a rotation speed far beyond the unprecedented 1'000'000 rpm and is compatible even with future, high-speed, emerging applications. It can reach up to 23 bit resolution and features eccentricity compensation in a single, miniature device with a 4 mm diameter disc.
