ENCODER SCALES
The masters used in replication for DRC’s Linear Encoder
Scales have been generated using advanced numerically controlled laser
interferometer techniques. Environmental conditions have been stringently
controlled with seismic isolation equipment, temperature uniformity of 0.1
degree Fahrenheit, humidity controls, and automatic barometric
compensation to within 1 part in 10 million. Replication techniques are
similarly controlled.
Benefits of DRC’s Linear Scales
- Low Cost - No tooling or setup charges for standard scales.
Scales are cut to your specific length and priced on a per-inch
basis. We provide a choice of three accuracy grades to fit your
requirements.
- Immediate Delivery - Most scales are stocked in 72 inch
lengths and can be cut to your length requirements and shipped
within 5 days.
- High Reliability – All scales are produced using the
Metrifilm process (Vacuum Deposited Inconel).
- Ultra Precision – Accuracy to 1 micron in 48 inches
(Traceable to the National Institute for Standards and Technology).
Additional types of positioning scales generated by DRC
include absolute and non-linear functions. We welcome your request for
quotation/information on a custom precision scale.
