Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

Yes. It is designed for absolute distance measurement, including step profiles. Its output is not merely displacement relative to an initial position.

The footnote specifies 0.5 kHz, a 64-value moving average, stable temperature and differential glass measurement at mid-range. It is not an unconditional 6 kHz resolution.

No. The MP table distinguishes <±10 nm for the first distance from <±100 nm for each additional distance.

The footnote identifies PROFINET and EtherNet/IP as optional connections through an interface module. Ethernet, EtherCAT and RS422 are listed separately.

Select dedicated head, fiber and vacuum feedthroughs. UHV-compatible optical components do not make the controller vacuum-rated; the tabulated controller is IP40.
