Rotary Encoder High Precision Calibration System for Angle Standard


We developed the automatic calibration system for angle encoders. The system uses the Equal-Division-Averaged method that is one kind of the self-checking method. Both of the reference standard and the object angle encoders are calibrated at the same time against all encoders graduations within only one hour. The resolution and an uncertainty are 0.001 " and approximately ±0.05 ", respectively. This Equal-Division-Averaged method is hoped to become the national standard method for the calibration of angle encoders.
