Abstract
A length- or angle-measuring arrangement for measuring the relative position of two objects. A graduation (Ta) lies in a graduation plane (TEa) of a graduation carrier (TTa) which is connected with one of the objects outside the neutral plane (NEa) of the graduation carrier (TTa). The graduation carrier (TTa) is scanned by means of a scanning graduation (ATa) in a scanning graduation plane (ATEa) of a scanning unit (Aa) which is connected with the other object. To eliminate measuring errors brought about by bendings of the graduation carrier (TTa), the scanning graduation (ATa) of the scanning unit (Aa) is arranged in the neutral plane (NEa) of the graduation carrier (TTa).
