First select the type of movement you want to measure. Here you can choose between a linear or rotational movement.
The position detection can be incremental or absolute. The incremental measuring method provides a relative position as well as direction of movement, which requires an assignment to a reference point (starting point) at the beginning of the measurement. This is done by homing the axis. The absolute measuring method provides concrete position information at any axis position. A reference run at the beginning of the measurement is not necessary.

Semiconductor technology is engaged in the technical production of microelectronic components and assemblies, which are primarily made of semiconductor materials. Integrated circuits (ICs), manufactured from a semiconductor material such as silicon, are an important part of the production of modern electronic devices. Semiconductor production is a highly complex process that has to be continuously developed due to increasing demands on the performance of electronics. The demand for corresponding systems, machines and equipment increases from year to year.
High-precision positioning of axes is the key to many achievements of modern technology. Particularly in industrial semiconductor production or in the fields of medicine, research and inspection of materials, positioning tasks are becoming increasingly important. The challenges here are the constant miniaturization of assemblies, the highly accurate and reproducible measurement of translations, and the reliability of integrated systems.
Due to the very small size and modular design of the LIKselect optical linear measuring system from NUMERIK JENA, it is ideally suited for integration in very small, flat positioning tables.
In this example, two LIKselect measuring systems were integrated into a particularly flat cross table. This can be used for positioning components, wafers or production units. The LIKselect also offers the possibility to operate assemblies like a cross table in vacuum environments. This opens up new possibilities, especially in innovative and complex areas such as semiconductor technology or photonics.
Its extremely compact design as well as many configuration options make this product series an all-round talent for incremental path measurements
