  • Process for producing an arrangement for determining the relative position of two bodies that are movable in relation to each other
    Patent number: 6564468
    Abstract: In an arrangement for determining the relative position of two bodies (3, 7) that are movable relative to each other, a separate measuring tape (29) is attached to a first (3) of the two bodies (3, 7). The measuring tape includes at least one track of measuring markings, distributed in the longitudinal direction of the tape. The second (7) of the two bodies (3, 7) carries a sensor arrangement (31) which responds to the measuring markings and travels along the track, in the course of relative movement between the two bodies (3, 7). The measuring tape (29) is attached to the first body (3), at at least two attachment points that are arranged at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and is elastically stretched between the attachment points in the longitudinal direction of the tape.
