Position sensing with variable capacitance transducers
For enabling
precise operation of an oscillating device, such as a galvanometric
optical scanner, a capacitive position transducer is provided with
strategically located internal capacitive fiducial features that
interact with the armature of the transducer beyond the central range of
excursion of the transducer, typically beyond the normal operating range
of the device. Electric pulses obtained at instants of interaction with
the fiducials enable determination of position drift caused e.g. by
change in environmental conditions. The pulses can be detected by simple
circuits to produce recalibration of the amplitude and null position of
the instrument on an automatic or elective basis.
