Incremental linear encoder VIONiC™ RTLC20

opticalnon-contactdigital output

What is VIONiC? The VIONiC readhead combines Renishaw's market proven filtering optics and advanced interpolation into one digital incremental encoder with ultra-high accuracy. The VIONiC encoder system offers a wide variety of speed and resolution configurations, and an expansive range of linear or rotary scale options. This makes it one of the most versatile encoder for high precision feedback. Designed with intuitive auto-calibration mode, VIONiC readheads are also easy to install. What is new? *The VIONiC encoder system is now available in resolutions down to 2.5 nm with enhanced SDE across the product range. What is RTLC20 scale? RTLC20 is a low profile stainless steel tape scale featuring 20 µm pitch incremental graduations and IN-TRAC customer selectable reference marks. It is accurate to ±5 µm/m and in lengths up to 10 metres. Two mounting options are available, both allow independent thermal expansion and tape scale convenience. RTLC20 can be used with the revolutionary FASTRACK™ scale carrier system. This system allows a track to be laid quickly and easily with no need for fixing holes. A sacrificial spacer is removed and the tape scale is then fed into the track. RTLC20-S is laid onto the substrate with self-adhesive backing tape. The self-adhesive is formulated in such a way that it allows for independent scale expansion to that of the substrate. To complete the installation, both types of scale are clamped at one point to provide a datum position.
