A sensor also had to be installed to check vacuum pressure after each disk was picked up. Not surprisingly, since the machine was designed to pick up small disks for the E4T encoder, some adjustments ...

The most commonly used encoder are optical encoders.“Inside these encoders is a disk with opaque and transparent areas, usually in a pattern of lines and windows,” said Donowitz. “An LED array shines ...

If you look at the image right now, sensor A detects a black box, sensor B would register a white box. Because they are 1/2 step apart, they will never change state at the same time.

Optical encoders usually use a disk with holes in it; shine a light through the disk onto a sensor and you can determine the position by counting the number of resulting pulses.
