Optical incremental linear encoder RGH25F UHV
- Production:
- Renishaw (United Kingdom)
- Encoder RGH25F UHV
The reading head of the linear encoder RGH25F UHV is used with Renishaw´s RGS20-S scale tape, providing reliable feedback on the position in ultra-high vacuum conditions. It has proven itself over many years of operation, the RGH25F UHV head is used worldwide in semiconductor devices and scientific equipment, where exceptional reliability and the highest performance are required.
Compatibility with REF interfaces
In order to increase the efficiency and reliability of the service, the interfaces of the RGB and RGF series have been replaced by a REF interface that meets the requirements of the RoHS Directive and provides dynamic signal processing and resolution up to 5 nm!
The reading head RGH25F UHV is manufactured in extremely clean conditions, using materials and glues with low gas evolution. The finished product is packed and sealed in a special bag in order to ensure proper cleanliness.
Scale tape that can be used in a vacuum
The RGS20-S scale tape features a high repeatability of measurement results and can be installed on substrates of most materials used commonly in the semiconductor industry and sectors where equipment for research activities is made. Such materials include, in particular, Invar®, Zerodur®, stainless steel and aluminum. After the ends of the scale are fixed to the substrate using the epoxy adhesive of the recommended type, the change in the state of the scale will correspond to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate, and as a result, this system works as if the calibration was applied to the substrate itself.
Results of analysis of the composition of residual gases
The results of an independent analysis of the residual gases showed the suitability of the entire system as a whole for operation in a vacuum. The system can also be degassed at 120 degrees Celsius and then used in ultra-high vacuum conditions. Typical examples of the application of this system: feeding and moving semiconductor wafers and their verification, as well as conducting research.
