L23 Phototelectric Modular Linear Encoderby Precizika MetrologyModular sealed phototelectric linear encoder L23 has measuring length up to 20 meters and more on special order. The encoder is used to convert linear displacements of machine key components into electrical signals containing information about the value and direction of the displacement. The encoder operates in reflected from metal band light beam. Metal band with made on its surface grating scale is fixed in rigid aluminum housing with double protection lips. The encoder consists of several separate modules with length up to 3,0 m, which are jointed together, and reading head. The standard encoder has three square-wave TTL out-put signals: 2 main signals, shifted by 90 degrees and one reference signal.
