The improved speed allows for the HS20 laser head to be designed into higher velocity applications which are becoming more common in today’s manufacturing industries. The aerospace industry is a key market for large machine tools which require long range but highly accurate encoder systems. With throughput being a key consideration in any machine tool purchase, the improved speed of the HS20 ensures that it will continue to be the preferred long range laser encoder of choice.
The HS20 long range laser system combines the ultimate accuracy of a laser interferometer with the robustness needed for machine tool applications. It offers real-time position feedback with sub-micron resolution through both analogue and digital quadrature.
