  • Method for increasing the positioning accuracy of an element which is movably arranged relative to a stator
    Patent number: 6532791
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the positioning accuracy of an element (13) which is movably arranged relative to a stator (10). At least two sensors (11, 12) are provided in the stator (10), a first sensor (11) and a second sensor (12), which are arranged at a distance (a) from one another in the stator (10), with respect to the movement direction (P) of the movably arranged element (13). The element (13) which is arranged such that it can move relative to the stator (10) is provided with encoders (130) which can move together with the movable element (13) and, when the element (13) carries out a movement relative to the stator (10), firstly produce a sensor signal (S11) in the first sensor (11) and then, as the movement of the element progresses, produce a sensor signal (S12) in the second sensor (12). First of all, in a calibration run, the movable element (13) is moved over the entire possible range of movement.
