Abstract: Laser interferometers and high-quality linear encoders both are competitive linear measurement systems used in high-precision machines. Plane laser interferometry allows measuring to a target that moves perpendicular to the measurement direction and to set up the laser beam in line with the functional point. In this way, a stacking of measurement systems can be avoided and a measurement configuration complying with the Abbe principle can be configured. On the other hand, laser interferometry is known to be sensitive to environmental changes. High-quality linear scales are used as an alternative. A disadvantage of linear scales is that the target is only allowed to move along the measurement axis. For targets translating in more than one direction with a range over several millimeters, this leads to a simple stacking of several linear scales together with the supporting slides. This indirect way of measuring introduces errors and partially destroys the accuracy provided by modern linear scales.
