The non-contact open industrial measuring systems are for high displacement velocities and high accuracies, commonly used in clean environments.
Non-contact open industrial encoders rely on the air gap between the encoder head and scale to be uniform over the measuring range. The flatness of the mounting surface and the parallelism of the machine guideway is important.
Depending on the version of the measuring system, two different measuring professional scales are available:
glass (partially ROBAX glassceramic) or steel .
