  2. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    Optical encoders are the most accurate of the standard styles of encoders, and the most commonly used in industrial automation applications. When specifying an optical encoder, it's important that the encoder have extra protection built in to prevent contamination from dust, vibration and other conditions common to industrial environments.

  3. IBM optical mark and character readers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_optical_mark_and...

    The IBM 1231 is an online optical mark reader that can read and score 2000 test answer sheets per hour, depending on downstream operations. [ 6 ] The correct answers for the test can either be entered using a master sheet (like the 1230) or sent to the 1231 using the optional master-mark special feature.

    Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...

  6. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    Rotary incremental encoder with shaft attached to its thru-bore opening Introduction to incremental encoders, from VideoWiki script Incremental Encoder. An incremental encoder is a linear or rotary electromechanical device that has two output signals, A and B, which issue pulses when the device is moved. [1]

  7. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  8. Optical reader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_reader

    An optical reader is a device that observes visual information and translates it into digital information, [1] as found within most image and barcode and matrix-code scanners. An example of optical readers are marksense systems for elections where voters mark their choice by filling a rectangle, circle, or oval, or by completing an arrow.

  9. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    A position sensitive device and/or position sensitive detector (PSD) is an optical position sensor (OPS) that can measure a position of a light spot in one or two-dimensions on a sensor surface. Principles
