Substrate mastered scale on a CMM

The thermal behaviour of an encoder scale is an important consideration when selecting any encoder system. Renishaw's mastered scales are thermally independant of the underlying substrate.This article presents an example application where mastered scale might be preferred.

Floating steel encoder scales for SMT

This application note discusses surface mount technology (SMT) applications and presents an example of where linear steel scale (installed to be thermally independent of its mounting substrate) may be preferable to the currently widely used, but expensive
