Renishaw offers a wide range of compact optical and magnetic encoder systems to meet the diverse requirements of industrial automation for laboratory and medical instrument manufacturers. The company's latest encoder product catalogue features Renishaw's full range of linear, angle, magnetic and laser encoders. New additions include the new RELM high accuracy linear scale, a range of high-performance ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) encoders, high resolution laser interferometer encoders, and full details of improvements in speed, resolution and reliability to Renishaw's standard optical encoder lines of RG2 and RG4 linear encoders.
The latest offerings further consolidate Renishaw's position as a global leader in micron, nanometer and picometer position feedback systems for many applications from lab and medical instruments, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, to machine tools and metrology systems. Proven in thousands of installations across the spectrum of precision machines and instruments, Renishaw's optical encoders were created to bring high precision, speed and reliability to demanding environments and tough industrial applications. Innovative metal scales avoid the fragility of glass encoders, while non-contact readheads and filtering optics avoid the bulkiness, hysteresis and wear of traditional industrial encoders.
