The invention discloses an absolute photoelectric
encoder system and an alignment calibration method. The
system comprises a
light source (1), a coded disc (2), a photoelectric
detector (3) and a
signal processing and adjusting
system (4). The code disc (2) is integrated with an incremental code channel (210) and an absolute code channel (220); the photoelectric
detector is correspondingly provided with an incremental
signal detection module (310) and an absolute
signal detection module (320). According to the method, an incremental signal (311) and an absolute signal (321) are synchronously processed through the
signal processing and adjusting system (4), incremental phase information and
absolute phase information are obtained respectively, and the
phase deviation between the incremental phase information and the
absolute phase information is calculated. According to the system, the relative position of the photoelectric
detector (3) and the coded disc (2) is calibrated and adjusted based on the
phase deviation, so that the alignment deviation between an incremental code channel and an absolute code channel is eliminated or compensated, and the long-term consistency and high precision of output signals of the
encoder are ensured. The method effectively solves the problem of relative offset between an increment signal (311) and an absolute signal (321) caused by
assembly tolerance, temperature drift or long-term mechanical stress, remarkably improves the reliability and precision of absolute position calculation, and can be widely applied to the fields of high-precision
servo control, precision measurement instruments,
aerospace and the like with strict requirements on position
detection performance.
