The module drives the stepper motor to a precise position based on the signal from therotary encoder. This ensures that the proper position is referenced on every call. The rotary encoderis directly coupled to the 3/8 in threaded rod, meaning any rotation of the attached internal structurecauses an increment in a count. This is used to create reference points for each bin location. Thethreaded rod is mounted to a bearing assembly above the rotary encoder and supports the entiretyof the load to avoid damaging the encoder. Each shelf is also directly mounted to the rod and iscoupled at the
