Title: Innovations of Johannes Wagner
Introduction
Johannes Wagner is a notable inventor based in Taching/Tengling, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical position measurement, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and reliability of position measuring arrangements.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Optical position measuring arrangement." This invention includes a scale connected with a first object, featuring a reference marking and multiple graduated areas arranged periodically in the measuring direction. These graduated areas possess different optical properties. Additional structures are strategically placed adjacent to the reference marking to minimize secondary maxima in the reference pulse signal. The scanning unit, which is movable in relation to the scale, includes individual detector elements that are geometrically arranged to match the reference marking for generating the reference pulse signal.
Another significant patent is the "Method and device for transmitting signals from a position measuring arrangement to an evaluation unit." This method involves transmitting position signals, reference pulses, and warning signals indicating a malfunction state from a position measuring arrangement. The goal is to determine the position of two elements of a machine that are movable relative to each other. The method logically interconnects the reference pulses with the position signals to ensure valid and invalid status combinations for outputting the reference pulses.
