The sensor includes first and second readers reading a first pattern. The encoder acquires a first position in a first direction by using an output signal from the first reader and acquires a second position in the first direction by using an output signal from the second reader. The encoder acquires a period of the first pattern by using the first and second positions, and acquires first and second shift amounts between the scale and the first and second readers in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The encoder produces position information by using the first and second positions, the period and the first and second shift amounts."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Encoder for producing position information using positions of a first and second sensor, tilt angles, period of a pattern on a scale","description":"The encoder includes a scale and a sensor relatively movable in a first direction.
