For applications that require extremely high resolution, OEM equipment designers have historically chosen to incorporate absolute encoders into their designs. Quantum Devices’ QR12 and LP12 sine/cosine encoders are now challenging the perception that absolute encoders are the only high-resolution solution available to the industry. The benefits of QR12 or LP12...
