MicroE Systems revolutionized encoder technology with the original Mercury encoder
family. Smaller, faster, and smarter than anything before, it set the standard for innovation.
Now Mercury II takes another giant step forward by giving you “best-in-class”
performance, unparalleled versatility with tape and glass scales, superior robustness, and
unmatched ease of use. And you get all of this from a single system, without making
trade offs.

Performance Without Compromise

Versatility Without Compromise

Robustness Without Compromise

Unsurpassed Ease-of-Use

• Low Z-Height Sensor    • Broadest Alignment Tolerances    • Pushbutton Setup    • Stick-on Optical Index and Limit Markers    • PurePrecision Laser Tape in Continuous Lengths No encoder is easier to use than Mercury II. Its low Z-height sensor fits where many others cannot. Its broad alignment tolerances ensure fast, easy sensor alignment. Stick-on optical index and limit markers make installation or customization very user friendly. Finally, cut-to-length laser tape on 50 meter reels eliminates lead-time issues, making it quick and easy to manufacture motion systems with a variety of travel lengths.

Mercury II has the smallest digital sensor capable of resolution down to 1.2nm. At just 8.7mm tall, this enables smaller, faster, less costly motion system designs.

Mercury II has the broadest alignment tolerances in the industry, a full ±2 degrees. That makes it the easiest and the fastest sensor to align and setup. No instrumentation is needed; you can align the Mercury II sensor in under 30 seconds.

Mercury II’s stick-on optical index is bi-directional and repeatable to 1LSB at full speed. Install index and limit markers on laser tape or glass scales.

Laser tape reduces inventory costs and long lead times. Available in up to 50 meter reels, it may also be ordered pre-cut to any length. An installation kit is available and contains everything you need: Shears, tape application tool, spare index and limit markers, end caps, epoxy, finger cots and more.
