Custom linear grating scale
Regular line patterns provide a custom grating reference for linear-displacement measurement and precision equipment reading.
Custom linear grating scales
Custom linear grating scales
Custom grating scales for linear displacement measurement, machine tools, video measuring machines, and automation equipment. Pitch, effective length, reading mode, datum, and mounting direction are confirmed together.
Start from the use case
Start grating-scale selection from the reader
Pitch, effective length, and reflective or transmissive mode must match the reader and equipment structure. Mounting direction, datum position, temperature, and fixing method also affect the final use.

Technical confirmation
Grating-scale confirmation path
- 01
Confirm the reader first
Reader optics and mounting direction determine pitch, reflective or transmissive mode, and pattern orientation.
- 02
Set length and datum
Use the equipment travel to set effective length, zero, datum marks, and end margins.
- 03
Match substrate and mounting
Choose glass, metal, or another substrate from flatness, impact, temperature, and fixing conditions.
- 04
Lock inspection and delivery
Record pitch, effective length, outer profile, holes, quantity, packaging, and inspection method.
FAQ
Linear grating scale questions
Is a smaller pitch always better?
No. Pitch must match the reader, signal processing, and equipment resolution. A pitch that is too small can increase reading and manufacturing difficulty.
Can you make a non-standard length from our equipment drawing?
Yes. Provide effective length, datum, mounting holes, reading direction, and reader information so a non-standard profile and length can be assessed.
How should we choose glass versus metal?
Glass often suits higher flatness and pattern-stability requirements. Metal can suit some impact and structural-mounting conditions; the equipment decides the choice.
Pitch, effective length, datum, mounting structure, accuracy, and lead time are governed by the technical confirmation sheet.
