 | TONiC™ RSLM linear encoder systemA combination for very high performance on long axes. RSLM achieves better than ±4 µm total accuracy over a complete 5 m length. TONiC readheads add dynamic signal conditioning, resolutions to 1 nm and ultra-low noise optical scheme for exceptional motion control performance.  The new RSLM stainless steel spar scale offers performance to rival fine pitch glass scales yet is available in lengths up to 10 m. RSLM offers a total accuracy (including slope and linearity) better than ±4 μm over a 5 m length – an industry first! With typically ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics, resolution to 1 nm and simple installation, RSLM retains all of the benefits of a 20 μm encoder yet provides the performance of a fine pitch system.
RSLM 20 µm pitch stainless steel scale 20 µm RSLM stainless steel scale is perfect for long travel applications where metrology can not be compromised.
- The robust spar scale is available in defined lengths up to 5 m.
- Total accuracy better than ±4 µm over a 5 m length.
- Thermal expansion: 10.8 µm/m/°C.
- RSLM can be coiled for simple storage and handling, yet once uncoiled behaves as a spar scale.
- Mounted using specially formulated adhesive tape or mechanical clips.
- IN-TRAC™ auto-phase optical reference mark, bi-directionally repeatable even at maximum speed (10 m/s).
- Multiple IN-TRAC reference mark positions: scale mid-point (RSLM), scale end-point (RSLE), distance coded for short travel indexing (RSLD) or regularly spaced for customer selection (RSLC)
Dual optical limits provide on-scale end-of-travel indication.
