encoder systems

Encoder systems are devices that convert physical movements or positions into digital signals that machines can interpret. They are commonly used in robotics, manufacturing, and automation to track how far or how quickly something moves. For example, an encoder in a robot arm registers its position and helps control precise movements. Think of it as the "eyes" of a machine, providing real-time feedback about motion, enabling accurate control and coordination. This allows machines to perform complex tasks with precision, improving efficiency and safety in various applications.
