Abstract To improve the subdivision accuracy of a photoelectric encoder and reduce the effects of sinusoidal errors in the signals on the measurement accuracy of the system, we designed an optoelectronic chip to receive grating moiré fringe signals. An amplifier circuit with a hierarchical pipelined architecture was designed, and the photodetector array was matched with the code disk before processing the received signals. Thereafter, a quantitative analysis was performed on the sinusoidal errors in the signals. From the analysis results, a sinusoidal error compensation method based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was developed, and a subdivision error compensation model was established to correct the errors in the signals. Finally, a fast solution for the PSO algorithm was implemented on a field-programmable gate array, and a grating test platform was built for experimental verifications. The results showed that the peak-to-peak subdivision error of the encoder’s photoelectric signal decreased by approximately 60% from 2.98ʺ to 1.13ʺ. Therefore, the scheme proposed in this paper is expected to significantly improve the measurement accuracies of photoelectric encoders.

To fulfill the requirement of fields such as robotics, aviation, and special machining, motors with quill shafts or outer rotors have been used. For these special motors, the photoelectric encoder’s volume is normally too big and easy to be polluted by oil or dust; magnetic encoder normally has poor accuracy, and alnico piece may not provide enough magnetic field coverage area. The aim of this essay is to find a new structure of magnetic encoder to improve the precision and magnetic field coverage area. By using two multi-pole alnico rings with a different number of pole pairs to provide a magnetic field, the coverage area could be improved. The position differences between two alnicos pole positions are used to calculate absolute angle value, so the accuracy of the encoder could be absolute and no less than that of a combined magnetic encoder with the same number of pole pairs. A special algorithm is proposed for decoding. This new kind of magnetic encoder could be used on special motors with quill shafts or outer rotors. Its volume and weight are less than the photoelectric encoder and have better performance on antipollution. The alnico ring is easy to modify to suit the structure of the motor.

A photoelectric signal, output by a photoelectric receiver, may detrimentally change after the photoelectric encoder is used for a period of time or when the environment changes; this will directly affect the accuracy of the encoder and lead to fatal errors in the encoder. To maintain its high accuracy, we propose an encoder that can work in a variety of environments and that adopts full digital processing. A signal current that travels from the receiver of a photoelectric encoder is converted into a voltage signal via current limiting resistance. All signals are directly processed in the data processor component of the system. The encoder converts all the signals into its normalized counterpart. Then, the angle of the encoder is calculated using the normalized value. The calculated encoder angle compensates for any error. The final encoder angle is obtained, and the encoder angle is output accordingly. Experiments show that this method can greatly reduce the encoder’s volume. This method also reduces the encoder error from 167 arcseconds to 53 arcseconds. The encoder can still maintain a high accuracy during environmental changes, especially in harsh environments where there are higher accuracy requirements.

Rotating modulation technique is a mature method that has been widely used in the rotational inertial navigation system (RINS). Tri-axis RINS has three gimbals, and the Inertial Measurement Unit can rotate along three directions to modulate the inertial devices’ errors, so that the navigation accuracy of the system can be greatly improved. However, the outputs of attitudes are easily affected by the non-orthogonal angles of gimbals, which should be accurately calibrated and compensated. In this paper, the effects of the non-orthogonal angles on the attitudes are discussed detailed and simulations based on Matlab are conducted to verify that firstly; then, a self-calibration method based on the outputs of the fiber optic gyroscope and photoelectric encoder is proposed. Experimental results in a real tri-axis RINS show that the attitude outputs accuracy are improved from 150” to less than 10”, which verify the practicability of the calibration method proposed in this paper.
