Optical Encoders
Incremental Linear Encoders
Our exposed linear encoders consist of a scanning head and a scale tape. These measuring systems are basically characterized by the following main features: The users slide system takes over the steering between the scanning head and the scale tape Non-contact optical scanning of the scale tape by the scanning head, thereby no mechanical retroactive effect on the slide system Low space requirement due to small dimensions of the encoder.
Absolute Linear Encoders
Our exposed linear encoders consist of a scanning head and a scale tape. These measuring systems are basically characterized by the following main features: The users slide system takes over the steering between the scanning head and the scale tape Non-contact optical scanning of the scale tape by the scanning head, thereby no mechanical retroactive effect on the slide system Low space requirement due to small dimensions of the encoder.
Incremental Rotary Encoders
Our exposed rotary encoders consist of a scanning head and a grating disk. These measuring systems are basically characterized by the following main features: Non-contact optical scanning of the ratchet disk by the measuring head, thereby no mechanical retroactive effect on the shaft No mechanical coupling between rotary axis and measuring system, thereby no transmission errors. Low space requirement | High resolution up to 0.135” | Large mounting tolerances | Integrated compensation of the measurement signals’ offset- and amplitude fluctuations.
