Metal reflective encoder is a precision optical component manufactured using electroplating technology, widely used in encoders, optical measuring instruments, and precision positioning systems. The reflective encoder utilizes the principles of light reflection and diffraction to achieve precise angle or position measurement by depositing fine gratings or engraved line structures on a metal substrate.
Code disk structure
The surface of the code wheel is engraved with fine gratings or engraved lines, which can be circular, spiral, or other geometric shapes.
Reflection and diffraction
When light shines on the surface of the encoder, the grating or engraved line structure reflects and diffracts the light, forming a specific optical signal.
signal detection
By detecting reflected or diffracted light signals through photodetectors, angles, positions, or velocities can be accurately measured.
High precision and high resolution
Electroforming technology can manufacture high-precision and high-resolution code disks, improving measurement accuracy and resolution.
