High‑Performance Interpolator for Ultra‑Precision Encoder Systems

The BD700 is a high-performance interpolator designed to maximise the resolution, accuracy, and performance of Magnescale Laserscale systems.

Compatible with a wide range of Magnescale encoder heads—including BS78, BL57, BH20, BH25, BL50H and other Laserscale series—it converts analogue signals into high‑resolution position data for advanced motion control and metrology applications.

Key Features

  • Ultra‑high resolution output – Enables resolutions down to 2.1 pm when used with compatible Laserscales such as the BS78 
  • Exceptional interpolation accuracy – Achieves ±10 pm interpolation accuracy through real-time signal correction 
  • Dual‑axis capability – Outputs synchronised position data for two axes simultaneously 
  • Multi‑interface compatibility – Supports serial communication (FANUC, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa, BiSS), A/B quadrature, analogue, and USB 
  • Improved system accuracy – Short-range error compensation enhances overall cumulative accuracy 

How it works

The BD700 processes high-frequency analogue signals from Laserscale encoder heads and converts them into high-resolution digital output.

  • Real-time interpolation increases signal resolution significantly
  • Built-in compensation corrects signal distortion and improves measurement accuracy
  • Output data can be transmitted directly to CNC systems, motion controllers, or PCs

This enables:

  • Precise position feedback
  • Improved motion control accuracy
  • Enhanced system performance
