ABSTRACT:
A scanning unit is provided which is adapted for translation in a longitudinal direction along three guide surfaces defined by a length measuring device. The preferred embodiment of this scanning unit includes at least one set of bearings which is adapted to contact each of the three guide surfaces. Each set of bearings includes two bearings which are arranged in tandem along the longitudinal direction such that the separation between the two bearings in each set is greater than the anticipated longitudinal width of irregularities and gaps associated with joints in the guide surfaces.
