(HEIDENHAIN Corp.: Tarsdorf, Austria) -- A new open linear encoder (no housing on scale) equipped with a unique integrated mounting control is now available from RSF Elektronik, as of Oct. 27. Called the MS 25, this RSF encoder utilizes a tricolored LED directly at the reading head enabling the user to gauge if the mounting and subsequent measurement readings are optimal.  It is available in North America through parent company HEIDENHAIN Corp. Common applications for open linear encoders are stages for medical and semiconductor machines, as well as miscellaneous metrology applications.

Open, noncontact linear encoders are increasingly being used in measurement applications that require higher traversing speeds and operating cycles, as well as lower mechanical backlash and zero frictional force induced by an encoder. The RSF MS 25 linear encoder fits this bill and offers permanent control of the scanning signals over the whole measuring length. The use of the tricolored LED  allows for easy mounting since no test box or oscilloscope is needed, and is helpful for quick troubleshooting during operation.
