Advantages Stork Veco's Encoder discs, Apertures Masks and Linear Codestrips
Stork Veco's metal Encoder components can offer all this and more...
General advantages of metal Encoder discs, Aperture masks and linear Codestrips compared to glass, film or photoplast:
 •  high durability, making it well suited for environmental vibrations and shocks
 •  lower moment of inertia, because of the lighter thin metal components
 •  endure high temperature (±130 °C) and humidity
 •  high stability, caused by the use of hard metal material
 •  final product free of burrs, giving a nice, shiny flat product
 •  economical tooling and parts, resulting in competitive prices
 •  good concentricity in application warranted by design, easy mounting
 •  achieving sharp edges along the slots resulting in a well-defined pulse count (CPR). Compared to Laser cut or Photo etched the edges of the slots are much smoother.
 •  very flat surface and very tight tolerances on slot width, pitch and centerhole.
 •  the electroformed metal Encoder components are lighter than for instance glass or plastic, resulting in reductions in torque motor size and electronic control circuit complexity.
