RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: DRO issue "HEDs in hand"

http://206.19.206.56/dan_mauch_encoder_mount.htm is the url for the
linear encoders. I don't think it showed how I mounted the mylar strip
in the 1X2 rectangular tubing. Bascially, I used double sided 3 mil tape
cut down to 1/4" wide which was used to stick the mylar strip to a piece
of 1/4" aluminum square stock that was installed into the housing. The
slider machine to allow for the square stock.

Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to give it a try. I feel that
the resolution should be adaquate for the majority of the work that I
do.

Dan, how did you mount the strip? I was thinking about a fiberglass
plane to support the strip. Hopefully this would lessen the effects
of temperature on the system, but perhaps this isn't needed.

I remember a website with pics of a linear encoder installation but I
guess I didn't bookmark it. Does anyone have a URL showing this
setup?
