A new optical encoder system is presented for displacement measurement by the curve fitting method. In this paper, another pondering model is based on the previous development. That is the new measurement method using a homemade periodical gray level code, which can be used to replace the traditional doublet grating. A high precision is achieved by a fitting method with one single-frequency harmonic function. The experiment result shows that the concept is feasible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
