UNICO encoder is a sensor that converts mechanical geometric displacement on the output shaft into pulses or digital quantities through photoelectric conversion. This is currently the most widely used sensor. Photoelectric encoders consist of a light source, an optical code disk, and photosensitive elements. The grating disk has several rectangular holes evenly spaced on a circular plate of a certain diameter. Since the optical code disk is coaxial with the motor, when the motor rotates, the grating disk rotates at the same speed as the motor. A detection device composed of electronic components such as light-emitting diodes detects and outputs several pulse signals. By calculating the pulses output by the photoelectric encoder per second
