Incremental linear encoder ATOM DX™ RCLC linear

opticalnon-contactdigital output

What is ATOM DX? The ATOM DX encoder series is Renishaw's smallest incremental optical encoder with digital output direct from the readhead. It provides positional feedback, onboard interpolation and filtering optics all in a miniature package. Detailed diagnostic information can be accessed by using the optional Advanced Diagnostic Tool ADTi‑100 and ADT View software for in‑field diagnostics, fault finding and to aid optimisation of encoder set-up in even the most demanding applications. The ATOM DX encoder also offers resolutions down to 2.5 nm with a wide range of configurations. ATOM DX is supplied in cabled and top exit variants with either 20 µm or 40 µm scale options. What is RCLC scale? RCLC is a glass spar scale which can be supplied in lengths to 130 mm featuring either 20 µm or 40 µm pitch incremental graduations. RCLC offers a total accuracy of ±3 µm and includes two reference marks: one at the scale mid-point and one at the end-of-travel. Selection is made by the orientation of the readhead relative to the scale. RCLC is mounted on the substrate with self-adhesive backing tape. The self-adhesive is formulated to allow for independent scale expansion to that of the substrate.
