We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Glass Scale Encoders",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC sliding head turn/mill auto is backlash-free from
NC Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Latest linear motor technology is being used to remove any likelihood of deflection and backlash and to optimise slideway structure of the most recent CNC sliding head turn/mill
centre".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC sliding head automatic lathes get smarter from
NC Engineering: "CNC sliding head automatic lathes focus on the development of high speed processing and the substantial reduction of idle and non-cutting times in machine cycles with better flexibility".
In August 2005, we covered the news from NC Engineering
concerning its Citizen R07 Type VI CNC sliding head automatic
- take a look at Linear drives speed up sliding head automatic
which says: "Using linear motors to remove any likelihood of deflection and backlash from the power transmission system a very compact sliding head automatic offers super precision with high speed".
Take a look also at the news release from Newall Measurement Systems, Steel ball inductive encoders solved lathe problem,
as well as Actuator has unrivalled versatility from SMAC Europe,
and Non-linear error correction is major factor from Acu-Rite.
