According to the company, The exposed linear encoders of the LIP and LIF types are characterized by small measuring steps together with high accuracy. The measuring standard is a phase grating applied to a substrate of glass or glass ceramic. LIP and LIF encoders are typically used for:

  • Measuring machines and comparators
  • Measuring microscopes
  • Ultra-precision machines such as diamond lathes for optical components, facing lathes for magnetic storage disks, and grinding machines for ferrite components
  • Measuring and production equipment in the semiconductor industry
  • Measuring and production equipment in the electronics industry

 

The LIF 481 V is suited for special applications in high vacuum (to 10–7 bar).
