ABSTRACT:
A scanning unit is movable relative to a scale member and is connected to a fiber optical system for illuminating a reading unit with light that has been emitted by at least one light source and transmitted by the fiber optical system to the scale member. The reading unit is connected by a fiber optical system to the scanning unit and comprises optoelectronic receivers for converting the optical signals to electric signals. It is desired to use basically the same reading and illuminating units with different scale members and to use fiber optical systems also with coding scales and high-accuracy incremental scales. At least the reading fiber optical system which connects the optoelectronic receivers to the scanning unit consists of an image-transmitting, directive fiber optical system, which has a receiving area facing the scale member. Reading aids are disposed between the opposite end of said reading fiber optical system and the optoelectronic receivers. If the scale member comprises an incremental scale, said reading aids preferably consist of scanning grids which are spaced apart by a non-integral number of grid increments.
