Absolute encoders are favored over incremental encoders because they can provide an absolute position measurement regardless of the power state or shaft motion.

Choice of Three Optical Encoders for Incremental and Absolute Measuring Three encoder choices are available, two sine/cosine encoders for traditional motion controllers and an absolute encoder with ...

Amicra Microtechnologies replaced its incremental measuring systems with absolute optical encoders to better manage the complex machine motions in its NovaPlus surface mounting and stack-die assembly ...
