MicroE: Optical Linear Encoders (Mercury II™ Series)
Compact | Precision Encoders for the World’s Machines and Instruments
Mercury II’s advanced sensor design achieves resolutions up to 1.2nm and high accuracy performance in a compact sensor body.
Benefits
Mercury II’s encoder technology achieves the highest resolution and accuracy in its class, with low cyclical error, low jitter, smaller sensors, and lower power consumption.
Mercury II’s low cyclical error surpasses every other 20μm encoder. The benefits are smoother velocity control for linear motors, stages and wire bonders; More precise, and faster linear positioning.
Smallest tape scale system available: only 6mm wide, including index and limits - less than 1/2 the width of other encoder systems.
Broadest Alignment Tolerances: With the broadest alignment tolerances in the industry, a full +/-2 degrees, Mercury II is the easiest and the fastest sensor to align and setup. You can align the Mercury II sensor in under 30 seconds.
Built-in or Stick-on Optical Index and Limits: Order tape or linear glass scales with built-in markers for fastest installation, or install stick-on index and limit markers anywhere on cut-to-length tape scales.
MII5000 Series:
Resolutions from 5µm to 1.2nm, A-quad-B digital interface with index and limits, accuracy to +/-1 µm/m, with all electronics in the sensor.
MII6000 Series:
Resolutions from 5µm to 1.2nm, A-quad-B digital interface with index and limits, accuracy to +/-1 µm/m, compact sensor head.
