Stainless Steel Linear Scales/Rulers for Optical Encoders

Custom produced tape scales, tape strips, encoder strips

The length of the linear scale is: < 300 mm +/- 5 µm. The accuracy is: +/- 0.5 µm. Linear scales/scale strips are critical components of linear encoders. Electrical readheads convert signals, which help obtain positioning information. Hortech employs micron or sub-micron laser etching techniques to create stable reference marks on strips/tape scales.

An optical scale is a critical component for acquiring the position feedback on a rotary motion platform. Hortech is capable of manufacturing linear scales, code wheels, or partial arc scales according to clients’specifications.

Micron or Sub-Micron Precision & Steady Mass Production

Hortech aims at becoming a first-class, international supplier of high precision optical scales. It self develops precision laser machines for production lines. Its machines integrate quality components. These machines allow Hortech to mass produce optical scales with high yield. The quality assurance mechanism that Hortech employs guarantees the quality of our optical scales. Optical scales are designed and installed for industrial automation. The daily operation of smart factories relies on them.
