#186409 - Single Track Absolute Encoders
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I did a bit of poking around on the web and it seems that a number of manufacturers have have figured out clever (and proprietary plus presumably patented) schemes to detect absolute position along a linear or rotary element using what us essentially a single track of information. Pretty cool stuff that has come about in the times since I worked on tables and slides with linear encoders.
