Abstrakt: Taking full advantage of the structural capabilities of parallel kinematics demands additional machine-oriented control tasks, e.g. self-calibration and workspace monitoring. A promising strategy to simplify the corresponding algorithms is the integration of lightweight angular position sensors in passive joints. Due to the rough environment, contactless working sensors are required. In this section, two different inductive sensors manufactured by means of microtechnology are presented. The incremental sensor consists of microcoils, whose inductance changes during the rotation of a microscale on the joint shaft. The absolute sensor combines a vectorial magnetometer with a permanent magnet changing its magnetic orientation during joint movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
