Glass scale is THE solution for really high precision. (this remove ball 
screws geometric error, as well as mostly all flexure error). 
Unfortunately, it is usually not possible to get a good servo loop with 
the linear glass directly, thus an encoder on the motor is still needed 
(mostly to have a wide bandwidth on the servo loops control).
Basically, the concept is to use the motor encoder for high frequency 
information (Derivative term of the PID), and the glass scale for the 
Integrator term. Things start to get complex for the P term.. it may be 
a mix of both, or different algorithm... this is upon the bandwidth 
wanted and geometrics of the machine.
