Description
Almost every industry of the present day requires accurate solutions for metrology and positioning. There are several techniques that can be used, using different devices working under different physical principles. Each having their own strengths and weaknesses, they aim, however, towards the same goal: accurate and reliable positioning with high resolution. The suitability of each device will vary on the requirements of the task (type of environment, minimum resolution, among others), but this also means versatility is of some value as the device can be used in a widespread range of situations. Magnetoresistive sensors combined with magnetic scales to form a magnetic encoder, provide very accurate positioning systems with high resolution. The focus of the work will be optimizing AMR sensors for positioning applications. These sensors offer solutions with low power consumption and low prices.
