Title
Fluorescent dye based optical position sensing for planar linear motors
Abstract
Industrial Sawyer motor technology has existed fornearly three decades, traditionally being operated asopen-loop positioners. Such systems can attain micronlevel motion resolution and open-loop repeatability of10 ?¥m. This paper outlines a optical sensing techniquefor Sawyer motors which is capable of sub-micron resolution.Such a sensor can easily be integrated into amotor enabling closed-loop control and sub-micron repeatability.1 IntroductionSawyer motors are a class of...
