2.3.8. Replacement of position sensors


The position sensors are made of three electro-optical devices each
combining a light transmitter and a light receiver.
The presence of light is detected, or the absence of the same due to
a non-transparent object cutting the beam of light.
A metal disk and a linear plate with shaped profile and bearing a set
of holes are used to generate the signals for the rotation and
translation movement of the rotating arm (drive).

• Device A intercepts beginning and end of movement.


• Device B intercepts the intermediate point of the movement (mid-
rotation or mid-translation).
• Device C is aligned with the holes to generate pulse signals.
