Cable pull or draw wire encoders continue to shrink in size and now one company, Kübler, has unveiled what it claims is the thinnest cable encoder on the market. A draw-wire encoder is essentially a ...

Additionally, optical fiber is employed to extend the distance between the controller and sensor to distances exceeding 1 km. Available in any length from 3m to 1 km, price for a 15m cable is $589 ...

IC-Haus introduced the iC-HD2, iC-HD7 and iC-HE line drivers for 5 V and 24 V industrial encoder/sensor applications. The output drivers are designed for cable impedances in the range of 30 to 140 ...

With the aim of designing robust and reliable robot systems, this paper proposes and evaluates a complementary approach to localize a mobile robot, which is based on sensor data fusion of an inertial ...

This paper proposes a calibration algorithm for a three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) planar cable-driven parallel robot. The developed calibration algorithm uses a low-cost laser distance sensor to ...
