Incremental linear encoder METIRIO®

absoluteanalogfor robotics

The integrated light source illuminates a scale comprising an incremental grating with 20 µm pitch and a track with reference marks for absolute positioning. The reflected light generates an interference pattern which is detected by the diode array within the readhead. A relative movement between the scale and the readhead leads to analog sine and cosine signals as well as a TTL-shaped reference mark. > Compact Size 6.6 x 5.1 x 1.7 mm > High Resolution: 0.4 nm @ 1 m/s > Positioning Speed: up to 10 m/s > UHV compatibility down to 10-11 mbar > Operating Temperature Range: 0 °C – 80 °C > Rough environments with mechanical vibrations > Compatible with a broad variety of reflecting scales with 20 µm pitch > Closed Loop Motion Systems > Robotics > Semiconductor Industry > Gauge for Displacement Measurement Systems > High Precision Sample Scanning in Life Science and Microscopy > High Resolution 3D-Printing > Research & Development
