Linear Scale - Fiber Scale

Series 579 - Ultra-compact Linear Encoder Small detector head allows reduction in size and weight of equipment

Specifications Signal output cycle 2 µm Output signal

2-phase sine wave (2Vpp); 2- phase square wave

– Separating electronic components from the inside of the detector head using an optical fiber- guided wave enables an ultra-compact unit without a heat source and free of electromagnetic noise. – The ultra-compact detector head, the world’s smallest, is ideal for reducing the size and weight of systems. – 2µm signal output cycle contributes to the development of high-resolution systems. – LED indicators on the interface unit eliminate the need for an oscilloscope during detector head mounting adjustment, helping to reduce installation work.
