Exposed linear encoders have been used for several years on precision jig borers, grinding machines, and stages. These encoders consist of a glass scale and a noncontacting scanning head.

Machine tools therefore need linear encoders in closed-loop mode for high-accuracy production of small parts. Let’s look at what happens during a typical machining operation.
