RH200 encoder system

The RH200 readhead works with 20 m reective tape scale, has unique ltering optics, set-up LED, and offers high speed performance.
The RH200 offers generous set-up tolerances and maintains good contamination immunity.

Non-contact open optical system Large installation tolerances Maximum speed 5 m/s Reference mark or limit switch capability Integral set-up LED Uses Renishaw RH200 self-adhesive scale
