Laserscale easily achieves measurement and control by ultra high resolution less than 1nm. Sinusoidal wave of approx. 138nm signal period is generated by a hologram scale with high diffraction efficiency and a high resolution detecting head based on grating interference method, strong against disturbance by air pressure or current, plus easy to install (BS series). Signal distortion in principle remains minimal at high S/N ratio. The highest resolution reaches 17pm in combination with a interpolator featuring automatic compensation.
Magnescale employs the magnetic detection principle, thus far less affected by the condensation or oil problems inherent in machine tools and making stable and high precision operation possible in severe environments.
Magnescale primarily uses ferrous members as the housing material to protect the detector section, thereby realizing the high vibration resistance and impact resistance characteristics. In the SR80 series, furthermore, it employs multi-point fixation construction in addition to the housing with high rigidity, achieving the industry’s top class vibration resistance and impact resistance.
Digital gauge employs the magnetic detection principle, thus far less affected by the condensation or oil problems and high precision operation possible in severe environments.
