Attaching measurement scale or scale carrier involves repeatedly moving single alignment element in measurement direction and attaching scale or carrier close to alignment element

摘要

The method involves applying an alignment element (16) with a reference surface (24,26) to the reference surface of a second body starting from one end of the scale or carrier (10), attaching the scale or carrier close to the alignment element, moving the alignment element in the measurement direction and repeating the process. The method involves using a single alignment element (16) movable on the measurement scale or carrier (10) in the measurement direction and attachable to it in a defined transverse position, with a reference surface (24,26) for interaction with a reference surface on the second body. The alignment element is first applied with its reference surface to that of the second body starting from one end of the scale or carrier, the scale or carrier is attached close to the alignment element, the alignment element is moved in the measurement direction and the process is repeated. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: an arrangement for attaching a measurement scale or scale carrier.
