Real-life applications • TPC Motion (TPC) is a well-known Korean manufacturer of motion-control components

Real-life applications • TPC Motion (TPC) is a well-known Korean manufacturer of motion-control components • TPC selected ATOM for its variable aperture stop assembly – part of a laser tool used in FPD inspection and repair operations • The aperture stop consists of four moving vanes, each individually controlled by a voice-coil motor and ATOM encoder “ “ The ATOM series meets all of our main requirements for a high -performance, low-noise and light-weight miniature encoder system. Direct comparison with competing brands has demonstrated beyond doubt that ATOM is indeed best-in-class
