The linear scale is assembled on the machine from individual components. According to the company, the housing sections feature improved mounting and sealing technology. An integrated seal on the face and a tongue and groove system make it possible to lightly slide the housing sections together. Large mounting tolerances facilitate assembly of the entire system.
