On-axis self-calibration of angle measurement errors in precision rotary encoders

Incremental angle encoders are widely used in industry as a standard sensor to measure rotational axis angular position and velocity. The best commercially available angle encoders have achieved measurement accuracy on the order of 1 arc-sec with proper installation. Higher-accuracy encoders are nee...
