- Resolutions from 625 µm to 5 µm
- Axis lengths of up to 100 m
- Industry standard digital outputs
- Bidirectional reference mark
- TRS track system compatible
- Distance coded reference mark compatible
Benefits
- Easy to install with wide installation tolerances
- High speed operation
- Excellent dirt immunity
- Integral set-up LED
