摘要： A linear scale attachment device for holding and securely attaching a linear scale on an object to be measured is disclosed. The device includes an aluminum base formed with a holding groove having a larger opening than the width of a linear scale that is fitted in this groove, and a retainer for preventing the linear scale fitted in the holding groove from falling off. The base is permanently attached to the object at one location in the lengthwise direction, and resiliently attached at one or more other locations such as to be pressed in the X and Y directions using a cantilever plate spring. While using an aluminum base, the attachment device allows easy attachment and maintenance of the scale and relieves the effect of thermal stress caused by a difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the aluminum base and the object.

摘要： An elastic fixture which is employed for attaching a length measuring apparatus to an object to be measured having a different linear expansion coefficient therefrom. The elastic fixture is elastically deformable in the lengthwise direction of the length measuring apparatus. The elastic fixture includes a sheet-metal curved beam having one end fixedly attached to the length measuring apparatus and the other end fixedly attached to the object to be measured. The sizes and the machining accuracy of the elastic fixture are less restricted, and the elastic fixture can be manufactured easily. In addition, the elastic fixture is applicable to relatively severe temperature environments in a manual machine tool or the like. Further, the sizes and the cost of the elastic fixture can be reduced as compared with a parallel spring mechanism.

摘要： A photoelectric encoder includes: a scale; a detection head; fibers through which light that is to be irradiated on the scale and light reflected by the scale propagates; first and second cables each having a space in which the fibers are partially disposed; and a case that encloses a light source that supplies light to one of the fibers and a light-sensitive element that receives the reflected light propagating through the others of the fibers and converts the received light into an electric signal. The first cable, the second cable, and the case are disposed in this order in the direction of propagation of the reflected light. The positions of the fibers are fixed relative to one another inside the first cable in the direction orthogonal to the direction of length of the fibers and variable relative to one another inside the second cable in the orthogonal direction.

摘要： In a structure for protecting scale graduations, in which a graduation unit formed on a scale base is protected by a scale cover arranged on the top surface side of the graduation unit, a space between the scale base and the scale cover along the entire lateral periphery of the graduation unit is sealed using an adhesive agent mixed with a powder material such as a glass powder for blocking penetration of graduations-deteriorating components, to form a periphery adhesive layer. The scale cover may be supported on the scale base by a height regulating unit provided along the periphery of the graduation unit, so that variations in encoder output due to unevenness in thickness of the adhesive agent for joining the scale cover with the graduation unit can be prevented.
