<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>’ Technology:<br />
Creating the Best Encoders<br />
It takes a powerful combination of an advanced optical system,<br />
signal processing technology, and state of the art optoelectronic<br />
integration to make industry-leading encoders. And that’s just what<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> has done, achieving many industry firsts:<br />
• First 1.2nm resolution encoder with all electronics in the sensor<br />
• First 20µm encoder with cyclical error of only ±20nm<br />
• First PC Board-mount encoder with 78nm resolution<br />
• First sub-micron encoder with ±2° setup tolerance<br />
• First encoder with one sensor for tape or glass, linear or rotary<br />
• First encoder with user-programmable settings and software<br />
• First stick-on index and limits<br />
PurePrecision Optics<br />
Gives Mercury the<br />
Sensor Size Advantage<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>’ patented<br />
sensor creates a high-fidelity<br />
signal with very compact<br />
optics. The result is a<br />
miniature, high-performance<br />
sensor that’s just 8.4mm tall,<br />
weighing only 5 grams.<br />

PurePrecision Optics –<br />
Faster Setup, Better Accuracy<br />
Our PurePrecision optical layout gives our<br />
sensors the widest alignment tolerances<br />
in the industry: ±150µm in the Z axis and<br />
±2° for theta Z. That’s 300% better than<br />
competing encoders, and that means<br />
faster setup and better long-term motion<br />
system reliability. High signal quality<br />
means better accuracy – cyclical error<br />
as low as ±20nm – and interpolation that<br />
provides up to 1.2nm of resolution.<br />

About <strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong><br />
Encoder Innovation Starts Here<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>, a division of GSI Group, was founded in 1994 to<br />
advance encoder technology. Seizing the trend toward smaller<br />
motion systems, our patented optical designs have led to over 30<br />
different encoder models today. These innovations make encoders<br />
that achieve higher accuracy and speed while also being smaller,<br />
easier to install, and use less power. That’s why so many OEM’s<br />
are putting our encoders in their designs.<br />
Due to robust sales growth, we have made extensive investments<br />
in our manufacturing operations: a new, larger facility in 2008; use<br />
of lean manufacturing and six-sigma principles to achieve rapid<br />
response to customer orders while achieving superior quality; tight<br />
controls on cleanliness and ESD on the shop floor; and the training<br />
and quality systems to be ISO9001:2008 certified.<br />
Focus on Technology and New Products<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> builds<br />
encoders and servotrack<br />
writing subsystems for one<br />
of the world’s most leading<br />
edge industries: Data<br />
Storage. In fact, most hard<br />
disk drives manufactured<br />
throughout the world today<br />
are made using <strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>’ technology. Plus, we build the most<br />
widely used encoders for sub-micron compact motion systems -<br />
Mercury encoders. Add to that our growing range of Mercury II <br />
encoders and tape scale solutions. These successes stem from<br />
our ongoing R&D commitment to create more accurate, faster,<br />
smaller encoders.<br />
Best Performance and Value<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>’ encoders<br />
are renowned for their<br />
small size, ease of setup<br />
and features. But more<br />
customers are also<br />
discovering their worldclass<br />
performance – lower<br />
cyclical error for better<br />
velocity control, accuracy to ±1µm, and resolution that’s stable up to<br />
1.2nm. All of this performance comes from a 20µm-pitch encoder<br />
system that’s a fraction of the cost of 4µm and 2µm pitch encoders –<br />
now that’s value.<br />
Customization and Technical Support<br />
At <strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong>, we recognize the importance of customization.<br />
Many applications require a specific cable length, connector or<br />
pinout. Our manufacturing processes make your “customized” part<br />
just like a standard assembly. You get encoders that exactly match<br />
your application, and the reliability, quality and responsive lead<br />
times you would expect with standard products.<br />
Motion system customers require fast, effective support and that’s<br />
where our Odyssey program comes in. Engineered to support<br />
Our new, larger facility in Massachusetts is ISO 9001:2008 certified.<br />
customers during each of four critical product development phases,<br />
we support you from over 30 direct sales and sales partner locations.<br />

Direct Sales Offices<br />
Sales Channel Partners<br />

Global locations provide technical support in your language and time zone.<br />
Flexible Delivery<br />
Modern OEM<br />
customers must have<br />
their orders filled in<br />
1-2 weeks with little<br />
forecast visibility.<br />
<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> has<br />
professional supply<br />
chain management,<br />
world-class quality<br />
systems and a linear manufacturing process specifically designed to<br />
fill new OEM orders rapidly. Product designs that are modular and<br />
configurable complete the story, making <strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> one of the<br />
most responsive suppliers you can specify.<br />
Quality and Reliability Engineered in from the Start<br />
Encoder applications require the highest levels of reliability.<br />
That’s why we perform so many tests during product development –<br />
design validation testing, environmental robustness, EMI immunity,<br />
mechanical shock, and a host of further tests. We manufacture in<br />
the USA to the highest quality standards in compliance with<br />
ISO9001:2008, and our encoders are CE and RoHS compliant.<br />

Motion Control Designs<br />
The Mercury II 1600 digital output sensor, combined with the<br />
cut-to-length tape scale, provides repeatability and resolution of<br />
5µm to 0.5µm. The stick-on index and broad sensor alignment<br />
tolerances mean that setup takes seconds, high EMI immunity<br />
and tolerance to contamination translate to reliable operation, and<br />
high bandwidth provides speeds up to 20m/s. MII 1600 is the best<br />
choice for applications requiring 5µm to 0.5µm of resolution.<br />

lengths with built-in index and limits to make installation even<br />
faster. Its adhesive backing makes application easy and accurate.<br />
• Cut to any length at the time of installation, or order pre-cut<br />
• Measuring length up to 30m<br />
• Only 6mm wide, including index and limits; low profile<br />
• Choose from built-in or stick-on optical index and limit markers<br />
• Resists effects of scale contamination – dust, dirt, fingerprints, oil spots, etc.<br />
Glass Scales<br />
Use linear glass scales for the highest accuracy and precise thermal<br />
management. Rotary glass scales are available with or without hubs,<br />
and in arc segments.<br />
• Highest accuracy – up to ±1µm<br />
• Only 6mm wide, including index and limits (applications ≤130mm)<br />
• Custom options – special widths, thicknesses, near-zero CTE materials,<br />

<strong>MicroE</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> introduced Mercury encoders to help<br />
equipment designers achieve smaller and faster systems. Originally<br />
three models, the Mercury series of encoders has grown to 11<br />

vacuum rating. Choose from models with programmable digital<br />
output, analog output, or digital output right from the sensor, all<br />
constructed using vacuum-compatible materials rated up to 10 -8 torr.<br />
All sensors can be used with linear, rotary and arc segment scales.<br />
Mercury Vacuum Models<br />
HIGH PERFORMANCE IN THE SMALLEST PACKAGE<br />
With sensors only 8.2mm tall, capable of resolutions up to 1.2nm<br />
and cyclical error of ±20nm, unsurpassed motion system performance<br />
is achieved in the most compact vacuum applications. Plus, thermal<br />
effects are minimized due to the low power consumption of Mercury<br />
encoder sensors – only 0.25W for most models.<br />
All models perform at 10 -8 torr with negligible outgassing. Bake out<br />
