  • System for Determining a Position of a Component
    Publication number: 20160160472
    Abstract: A system for determining a position of a first component relative to a second component includes a first sensor mounted on the first component and configured to generate first position signals indicative of a position of the first component, and a reference sensor mounted on the second component and positioned adjacent the first sensor and configured to generate reference position signals indicative of a position of the second component. A controller is configured to receive the first position signals, receive the reference position signals, and determine a position of the first component relative to the second component based upon both the first position signals and the reference position signals.
