  • Position-measuring device
    Patent number: 10571310
    Abstract: In a position-measuring device for determining the position of a first object with respect to a second object that is displaceable relative to the first object, a measuring standard is connected to the first object and includes at least one periodic scale grating, which is arranged as a transmission grating and has a first periodicity. A scanning unit is connected to the second object and includes at least one light source, at least one periodic scanning grating, which has a second periodicity, and a detector system, which includes detector regions that are sensitive to radiation and are periodically disposed at a third periodicity in a detection plane. The bundles of rays emitted by the light source first impinge upon the scale grating and then pass through the scanning grating.
