摘要:
A miniaturized optical encoder capable of obtaining a sufficient amount of light in the light receiving element is provided. An optical encoder 1 includes a scale 2 having a scale track 2′ and a readhead 3 having a light source 31 that emits light to the scale track 2′, a scale-side lens 32 that transmits the light emitted from the light source 31 to the scale track 2′, and a light receiving element 33 that receives the light reflected by the scale track 2′ through the scale-side lens 32. The light source 31 is arranged between the scale-side lens 32 and the light receiving element 33. An optical axis Lsrc of the light source 31 is matched with an optical axis Ls of the scale-side lens 32 in a reading direction of the scale 2 and is separated from an optical axis Ls of the scale-side lens 32 by a predetermined distance D in a direction perpendicular to the reading direction of the scale 2.

A miniaturized optical encoder capable of obtaining a sufficient amount of light in the light receiving element is provided. An optical encoder 1 includes a scale 2 having scale markings 21 and a readhead 3 having a light source 31 that emits light to the scale 2, a scale-side lens 32 that transmits the light emitted from the light source 31 to the scale 2, and a light receiving element 33 that receives the light that has been reflected by the scale 2 and that has passed through the scale-side lens 32. The light source 31 is arranged between the scale-side lens 32 and the light receiving element 33, and a distance between the light source 31 and the scale-side lens 32 is set to be a focal distance fs of the scale-side lens 32. An optical axis Lsrc of the light source 31 is matched with an optical axis Ls of the scale-side lens 32 in a reading direction of the scale markings 21 and is separated from an optical axis Ls of the scale-side lens 32 by a predetermined distance D in a direction perpendicular to the reading direction of the scale markings 21.

摘要:
A photoelectric encoder that has a lens optical system including a lens inserted between a main scale and a light receiving element. In the photoelectric encoder, three planes extended from a surface of the main scale, a principal plane of the lens, and an image plane of the light receiving element are disposed so as to intersect at a single point and satisfy the Scheimpflug rule. Focus can thereby be obtained over the entire image plane, so that a reduction in contrast is prevented, even if the optical axis is inclined to make an optical system smaller.

In order to provide an objective lens which can reduce the generation of flare light, an objective lens including a front-group lens, a rear-group lens arranged on an optic axis of the front-group lens with the front-group lens interposed between an object plane and the rear-group lens, and a semitransparent mirror arranged between the front-group lens and the rear-group lens for reflecting illumination into the front-group lens, transmitting reflected light from the object plane and entering the transmitted light into the rear-group lens is provided. The front-group lens is a single lens or a cemented lens formed by sticking two lenses together.

An illuminance calibrating method includes a light-receiving intensity measuring step (ST100) for measuring a relationship between an applied current value and a light-receiving intensity of a CCD camera of which exposure time is capable of being changed by taking an image of an illumination from an illuminator by the CCD camera while changing the exposure time of the CCD camera, a characteristic curve calculating step (ST200) for calculating a characteristic curve of the illumination intensity of the illuminator and the applied current value based on the result obtained in the light-receiving intensity measuring step (ST100), and a command-value/current-value table generating step (ST300) for generating a table of the command value and the applied current value based on the calculated characteristic curve.
