Kit LA

Absolute optical path encoder

High traversing speeds of up to 10 m/s, various serial interfaces,
resolution as fine as 78 nm, and many other features

The Kit LA Series catapults absolute measuring into a new dimension. This encoder was especially designed for applications with especially customized requirements. These systems are not only extremely small, they are also particularly configurable. Your ideas won't be hardly limited with this series.

  • Special Kit-version of the LAK encoder
  • Customized housings and sensor frames available
  • High resolution up to 78 nm
  • High traversing speed up to 10 m/s
  • Two absolute tracks and two incremental sensors ensure high contamination immunity
  • Automatic signal adjustment after mounting possible with a high number of analysis options via ABSOFLEX software
Save space

Considerable space savings for integration thanks to a highly compact and low-profile design

Make your ideas come true

High number of variants due to modular design and individually adaptable components

Precise positioning

High signal quality as well as fast travel speeds due to a novel sensor design with combined absolute and incremental sensing
