Encoder solutions from Renishaw

ANAHEIM, CA. — Renishaw shows advanced positioning, measurement and calibration solutions at ATX West 2008.

Optical Encoders

–New SiGNUM™ RSLM high accuracy stainless scale for flat panel applications matches glass scale performance with superior durability and installation ease
±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics, resolution to 5 nm and simple installation give SiGNUM™ RSLM the benefits of a 20 µm encoder with the performance of a fine pitch system

–RESM angle encoders apply intelligent signal processing to deliver high accuracy at high speeds in rugged conditions Industrial-strength, dynamically engineered, RESM encoders bring strong performance and reliablity to demanding applications, while tuning software optimizes performance

–Industrial-strength RG2 and RG4 optical encoders feature unique “dirt” filtering optics, cut-to-length metal scale, and LED “green light” setup
Latest generation of industrial-strength encoders 20-30% faster, even more robust and reliable, now with 10 nm readhead resolution while maintaining same affordable pricing

Laser Encoders

–RLE20 fiber-optic laser interferometer encoder introduces picometer resolution, differential measurement, and part per billion laser frequency stability
Alignment of just two components forms axis positioning system, allowing exceptional application flexibility and installation ease

Magnetic Encoders

–New linear magnetic encoders long on performance, durability, value and application versatility – up to 100 meter measuring length.
The new LM10 linear encoder joins proven family of rotary/angle magnetic encoders made by RLS for Renishaw

–Renishaw upgrades world's first 13-bit magnetic rotary encoders to higher speeds, accuracy and unique performance-tailoring capability
Affordable solution to demanding requirements, solid-state encoder-on-chip delivers 8192 counts per revolution, 38,000 rpm, and 0.3° positioning across -40°C to 125°C temperature range
