Abstract:
An optical position-measuring device includes a scanning bar extending in a first or second direction, and a scale extending in the other direction. The scale is offset by a scanning distance from the scanning bar in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The device has a light source whose light penetrates the scanning bar at an intersection point of the scanning bar and scale to fall on the scale and arrive back at the scanning bar. At a detector, the light is split by diffraction into different partial beams at optically effective structures of the scanning bar and scale and combined again. A periodic signal is obtained in the detector in response to: a shift between the scanning bar and scale in the first direction due to interference of combined partial beams, and a change in the scanning distance between the scanning bar and scale.

An interferometric distance measurement device that includes a light source that emits a beam of light and a scanning unit. The scanning unit includes a scanning plate having a splitter that splits the beam of light into a measurement beam and a reference beam, wherein the reference beam is propagated solely within the scanning plate before reaching interferential superposition with the measurement beam at a unification site. A reflector is provided, wherein the reflector is embodied such that the measurement beam striking the reflector undergoes retroreflection in a direction regardless of any possible relative tilting of the scanning unit and of the reflector downstream of the unification site. A detector arrangement is provided in which a distance signal relating to a distance between the scanning plate and the reflector is detectable from interference between the measurement beam and the reference beam.
