ABSTRACT:
An encoder for measuring devices having a code plate including binary grating patterns arranged in a given regular fashion and forming a first scale, a linear sensor including photodiode elements arranged with fixed intervals and forming a second scale disposed in parallel with the code plate, and processor means for absolute-interpolating one pitch of the first or second scale on the basis of reading data or information obtained from the linear sensor corresponding to a relative position of the patterns to the elements.
When the number of the scale divisions of the first scale within a fixed range is N, the number of the scale divisions of the second scale is N+1. Accordingly, when the first scale is a main scale, the second scale is a vernier scale. The processor means detects a phase inverting point corresponding to the interpolation point on the basis of the reading data. The processor means performs the absolute interpolation by detecting the phase inverting point.
