PLR3000 Fiber Optic Laser Ruler

Product Introduction

PLR3000 Fiber Optic Laser Ruler is based on the principle of laser interferometry, serving as a high-precision, high-sensitivity, and highly efficient advanced position detection device. It offers unique advantages in the field of non-contact high-precision measurement that other methods lack. Compared to traditional steel tape or glass gratings, it features more precise grating pitch and higher resolution. Its heat source isolation design ensures greater stability, along with quick installation and easy alignment. It is specifically designed for ultra-high precision position feedback applications and is widely used in high-tech fields such as microelectronics, micromechanics, micro-optics, modern ultra-precision machining, lithography technology, and aerospace.

The PLR3000 is equipped with a highly stable helium-neon laser source, achieving a frequency stability of up to 0.02 ppm. The laser is guided through polarization-maintaining fiber, allowing users to easily configure the interferometer at any desired measurement position, minimizing Abbe error.

The PLR3000 laser ruler can be configured for single-axis, dual-axis, or triple-axis output based on user requirements, enabling multi-axis or multi-degree-of-freedom measurements. It also offers various interferometer probe configurations, including corner cube interferometers, plane mirror interferometers, differential interferometers, and measurement probes without built-in interferometer groups, catering to diverse and complex application scenarios.

Features

(1) High-resolution digital quadrature signal output with a resolution of 10 nm (expandable externally). 

(2) High measurement accuracy, with linear measurement precision reaching 0.2–0.5 ppm.

(3) High frequency stability, up to 0.02–0.05 ppm.

(4) Large measurement range, with a maximum measuring distance of 4 m (expandable).

(5) The laser emitter and interferometer probe are separated, connected via a 3 m armored fiber optic cable and cable. This allows the main unit to be placed away from the measured equipment, facilitating installation and avoiding the impact of heat dissipation on the measurement path.

(6) Outputs quadrature digital signals or 1 Vpp sine/cosine signals, compatible with various controllers.

(7) Compact size, suitable for installation in confined spaces, minimizing Abbe error. 

(8) Can be used as a laser interferometer for measurement or for closed-loop position feedback control.

(9) Multi-channel output enables simultaneous multi-axis and multi-degree-of-freedom measurements.

(10) Environmental compensation function: an integrated environmental weather station automatically monitors and updates atmospheric parameters, compensating in real-time for the effects of temperature, air pressure, and humidity on the refractive index of air, ensuring measurement accuracy.
