Renishaw’s Slovenian motion sensing associate, RLS, has developed a novel absolute linear encoder technology with an accuracy of ±5µm and capable of delivering full closed-loop control. The heavy-duty ...

LIC 4000 measures up to 27 meters with resolution of 1 nanometer. June 29, 2009 – Incorporating absolute technology to a multi-substrate scale tape linear encoder design, HEIDENHAIN introduces the ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

The LA18 series linear absolute encoders offer resolutions down to 0.1 micron (in SSI output format) over measuring lengths up to 3 m. It is an enclosed linear encoder, with the glass scale mounted ...

Bedford, MA, March 3, 2005-Schneeberger, Inc. announced their two newest versions of the Advanced Measuring System are now available with Digital Interface –AMSD 3-A (for ROLLER MONORAIL) and 4-A (for ...

There are a growing number of applications, especially in the photonic and semiconductor industries, that need fast and accurate motion-control systems using high-quality signals with periods of 4 ...

Renishaw has developed a track-mounting linear encoder scale system that combines ±5µm/m accuracy with the ruggedness of stainless steel and the rapid installation of a carrier-type encoder system.

Heidenhain has introduced the LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system, comprising a scanning unit and glass scale. It has the capability to measure to 2-nm resolution with a high speed of 13 FPS at ...

This study proposes a front-end readout circuit as an encoder chip for magneto-resistance (MR) linear scales. A typical MR sensor consists of two major parts: one is its base structure, also called ...

Numerik Jena’s LIK 41 kit-style optical linear encoder, available from Heidenhain Corp., is suitable for motion feedback applications in which space is limited. It has a graduation of 20 µm with ...
