ABSTRACT:
This system incorporates a uniquely coded longitudinally extending absolute distance standard or code chart. The code chart includes bars and segments of different light reflectivity characteristics which uniquely define every different distance increment along the chart. Preferably the chart is binary coded. A transducer optically detects the code at each different distance measurement increment and converts the code into electrical signals. The electrical signals operatively control a manipulator device which moves along a movement track parallel to the stationarily positioned chart. The transducer includes means for detecting the code at or near the center of each distance measurement increment, rather than at the edges of the distance measurement increments where the code on the chart undergoes transitions. A sample bar extending along the chart defines the distance measurement increments and the points at which the code at or near the center of the distance measurement increments is to be sampled. This system is particularly applicable for controlling the movement and position of a manipulator crane used in nuclear power plants to manipulate nuclear core elements.
