  • Patent number: 10914570
    Abstract: An inductive position detector (IPD) for stylus position measurement in a scanning probe comprises a coil board configuration located along a central axis in the probe with a motion volume extending on opposite sides of the coil board configuration. The coil board configuration includes N top rotary sensing coils (RSCs) and a top axial sensing coil configuration (ASCC), and N bottom RSCs and a bottom ASCC. A pair of stylus-coupled conductive disruptors move along Z (axial) and X-Y (rotary) directions in the motion volume. A generating coil (GC) of the coil board configuration generates a changing magnetic flux (e.g., encompassing all or at least part of the disruptors), and coil signals indicate the disruptors and/or stylus positions. Areas of the conductive disruptors may be larger than an area of the generating coil in some implementations, and the conductive disruptors may each comprise a plurality of concentric conductive loops, spirals, etc.

  • Patent number: 10866080
    Abstract: An inductive position detector (IPD) for stylus position measurement in a scanning probe comprises two substrates located along a central axis in the probe with a motion volume therebetween, each including N rotary sensing coils (RSCs) and respective axial sensing coil configurations (ASCC). A stylus-coupled conductive disruptor moves along Z (axial) and X-Y (rotary) directions in the motion volume. A generating coil (GC) generates a changing magnetic flux encompassing the disruptor and coils, and coil signals indicate the disruptor and/or stylus position. Axial projection of the disruptor defines axial sensing overlap area (ASOA) with the ASCC, and rotary sensing overlap areas (RSOAs) with respective RSCs. The IPD is configured such that the ASOA is independent of disruptor position, and N complementary pairs (CPs) of RSCs are provided, wherein the magnitude of the change in the RSOA in the two coils of a CP is the same for any disruptor displacement.
