ABSTRACT:
A method and to a corresponding apparatus for processing information carriers, in particular for reading out storage phosphor plates (2) for storing X-ray information, an information carrier (2) and/or a container (1) in which the information carrier (2) is located being processed, in particular being moved and/or fixed, by at least one mechanical processor (13), the processor (7) being driven by at least one stepper motor (10), and information from the information carrier (2) being read out and/or written in the information carrier. In order to simplify the processing of information carriers (2) with at the same time high precision when determining the position of the processor (13) and reduced production costs, provision is made such that a motor load is recorded which is a measure for the load of the stepper motor (10) while the processor is being driven, and information about the position of the processor (13) is deduced from the number of steps, which corresponds to the number of steps of the stepper motor (10) while the processor (13) is being driven, taking into account the motor load recorded.
